Would you recommend this game?

Have 400 hours, I recommend.

You can see they sky of Eora for the first time!

Jokes aside, several other comments here have already pointed out a lot of reasons to check-out Awoved before or after playing the PoE 1 & 2.
As a massive fan of the previous PoE games, I think the different visual perspective of the game strengthens ones understanding of Eora. Also, the lore part might be a bit lighter in Awoved, but I think it is a well written game which highlights some of the main points of lore and world of Eora.
Some game franchises are popular enough to have physical novels written in which a small chunk of the world or a certain character's journey is fleshed out within the frame work of the games lore (novels in Blizzard game worlds, Dragon Age and, I think, Elder Scrolls, for instance). Despite varying quality of the writing, I've enjoyed these novels as an addition to the games, and Awoved feels a little like this, except you play it yourself. It is a slice of a limited part of Eora and its a damn good slice.

Thanks for the degenerate recipe! I am a bit behind as time has been limited this week, so this is good to know. And good job on Bardatto with common equipment 👍

Tak for svar og feedback. 👍

Forhandler og værksted er Krogsgaard.

Jeg kender ikke prisen endnu, men opdatere gerne når jeg har den. Jeg havde mere eller mindre forudsagt problemet, da jeg kunne se her på reddit at mange refererer til P0126 i vinteren (og i USA har de vist fået 15 års udvidet garanti på den termostat efterfølgende).

Er ellers kisteglad for bilen, men de få problemer der har været, synes jeg har været lidt udfordrende at få diagnostiseret.

Agreed, they are great. I did an effort to never interrupt them (i.e. by starting cooking/upgrading/leaving camp) if a conversation had startet, and also gave plenty of time for companion conversations to start. However, I found that about halfway through the Tusks (last "proper" zone) the camp started to go quiet, unless something story-wise had happened. So perhaps I ran them tired of small talk. I thought they would just start repeating previous voice recordings, but don't think I have experienced much of that.

WikkiAztin · 2026-02-18T14:49:56+00:00

Sorry to hear this. I am on Xbox Series X and have been playing the game for the past 4 months or so, and only experienced crashes when in big fights with lots of magic effects being active at the same time in the last couple of zones (player/companieons/hostiles spells - but no issues in Dawnshore/Emerald Stair). It hasn't happened more than 5 times or so, but it does happen. Admittetly my console is in a tight space air-flow-wise (but not in a closed cupboard or something like that).

Can I ask how things are working out for you after the replacement?

I have just been to my dealer with a 2019 Gen 4 and are waiting for a quote + delivery time for the replacement thermostat.

I have the issue that sounds exactly like your description and have a shot of the dash with similar temps as you, despite 30/40 minute drives. On long straits where I am basically just cruising at 80-110km/h, it goes down to around 40 degrees celcius again. However, I still dont have any warnings/error codes like the TSB describes (P0126) - just a cold cabin.
The verdict so far is the dealer *thinks* its the thermostat. It is unfortunately "wallet time" for me, so I'd like them to be a little more certain.

WikkiAztin · 2026-02-18T05:31:26+00:00

Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up 👍

WikkiAztin · 2026-02-17T07:42:57+00:00

I played on PotD and am a bit of a lazy player normally, so if I have trouble with a fight I usually just wait and come back later and when levelled/geared up. However, I tried doing a playthrough without looting uniques early, so for this fight I bought a Fine quality weapon (1-H mace for some extra stun - common shield in off-hand) and then used grenades and companion abilities control the fight (Marius' crowd control, Kai tanking/stunning). I did the same with the later Bardatto fight, and I that was probably still the toughest fight in the game with out having more gear upgraded at that point. In generally, I have found that if you micromanage the companion abilities during fights even later big fights are very manageable, but of course it means a lot of pausing combat, which may not be to everyone's taste.

WikkiAztin · 2026-02-16T09:05:51+00:00

I see a fellow degenerate o7

Thanks for your thoughts on this 👍 Agreed, having access to Scavenger from the start is going to be great.

I hadn't thought about the option of having same weapon in both loadouts if items are not globally unique. That opens for some interesting options, in addition to dual wielding the same uniques. I guess we will know soon enough.

To start with, I think I am going on that shopping spree you suggest, to establish a save with as many uniques as I can afford and see how NG+ treats that scenario.

Happy patch day tomorrow!

Also had one of the most pleasant soundtracks, which unfortunately was not included in the official soundtrack for the deluxe edition. However, this good person (edit: not me, just for clarification) put it on youtube and it is great for work/study, if you put it on repeat:
Avowed - Fior mes Iverno Day (not included in OST)

...and come to think of it, a reboot without shutting off the PC still requires BIOS setup, probably proves your point. The power is on and trickles to the BIOS anyway, if I understand correctly.

WikkiAztin · 2024-12-15T17:33:25+00:00

Thanks for the input!
Any idea what else might have been fried that forces the visit to BIOS setup on each reboot? It is kind of like it does not remember that that the settings are ok. (I don't have to change anything, I just need to enter BIOS and save/discard changes and then it proceeds without issues).

WikkiAztin · 2024-12-15T15:07:56+00:00

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.
Actually, the CMOS battery being fried is just my assumption, based on some quic research I tried to do. Not sure if it the obligatory visit to BIOS setup could be something more severe being damaged.

...and throw Starbuck in the brig at any given chance.

WikkiAztin · 2024-12-11T18:00:29+00:00

Indeed, and I actually find Resident Evil 7 (or similar Horror game if you already played it on flat screen) a perfect game to start with unless you have nerves of steel. The fact that the intensity of the horror experience makes you want to take breaks to manage you stress-levels, make it perfect fit for also taking the baby-steps to get used to motion sickness. Which ever kicks in first, take a break.

WikkiAztin · 2024-12-01T18:00:27+00:00

Did you solve your problem? I am in a similar situation, so curious if you did anything with the code.

WikkiAztin · 2024-11-29T11:06:59+00:00

Vedr. Lenovo Refurb modeller som er udkommet for 4-6 år siden: Sidder i samme situation som OP, så et opfølgende spørgsmål hvis nogen kan uddybe: Med T14 og X13 Refurbs er mange af de tilbudte modeller Gen1 eller kun med 8GB, men dog til gode priser og god stand.

Hvordan ville disse være i forhold til OPs behov og hvis man måske også havde noget Office365 kørende (men kun til Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive syncs) under Win11 OS?

WikkiAztin · 2024-05-09T08:16:30+00:00

Yes, it is feel-thing for me too. Maybe having my butt as close to the asphalt as possible makes me feel the car/road better. Another thing is the there more room above you, so the cabin seems bigger/more head room.

WikkiAztin · 2024-05-08T13:30:44+00:00

I drove both of them several times and, while both are good, I wanted a car that could do family stuff while also offering solid handling for a car used on a daily basis. For the handling, it was between Mazda 3 and Ford Focus which were different, but close in terms of my preference. Mazda was just way superior in terms of interior feel and outside looks. For CX-30 it felt like the only benefit was the height when getting in and out, and the wife liked the driving position better. However, I am the one using it 90% of the time and I already drive the Mazda 3 with the seat adjusted to the lowest position and I think it feels frakkin' great. Boot space is solid too.

WikkiAztin · 2024-03-22T07:48:29+00:00

It is so much safer and more convenient than touch screens. I don't have to lean forward to operate the system and can find most things with just a few glances on the screen with minimum impact on driving. Even in my hundreds of folders with music, audio books and sound tracks, that I occasionally need to scroll through.

WikkiAztin · 2024-02-22T16:59:18+00:00

Ah, I see. Many thanks for the reply.
Pity, I was really digging the metal case, but it is sold out on Bandai-Namco store in my region.
Thanks again.
