AVOWED IS the 3rd installment
There is probably some world lore in Avowed, but people say it is "hand holdy" so I doubt you have to have played the previous
I backed Pillars 1 and 2 if I'm not mistaken
Both of those were kickstarter babies
I don't think Avowed and Pillars are directly linked... maybe just same world
You play a godlike in Avowed, there's no racial choice. But you had race/sub-race choices in Pillars
And godlike are lol ugly af but it's their thing.
For this Pillars run we are doing a Moon Godlike tank and spank monk build
Sending out those filthy heals with each wound I take
lmao jfc I forgot this is basically half the critical role cast
Immediately in the tutorial is Sam Riegal. Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien and Taliesin Jaffre are also voices for the game
It's like 30/70 voiced though.
Here's my starter build for this, probably not the best stats but oh well
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS I don't remember anything
lol monk things:
You can tell these guys did Icewind Dale, it basically feels like Icewind Dale lol
Eyy solo'd the bear
I have collected both Matt Mercer characters
Or all 3..? Kinda? HMHMHM
I realized I can't comment much without spoilers
To be fair, the game is 10 years old ish so
ANYWAY SPOILERS FROM HERE OUT
SO. I finished the Eothian temple stuff
I guess my Watcher is being a bit nice but ......... stern?
We'll punch people and then be like "DON'T DO IT AGAIN KAY?"
So we let Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirtan go
But only after we scared him to death tee hee
Again very OooOooo scary then, jk off with you two lovebirds c:
It's super late, I lost track of time playing
It's WEIRD coming back to this because it's been a long time and things are mildly familiar but not completely
I only played the game through once
I forgot how to scale the slick wall
So I have to get back to that once I figure out or remember how
Geez though Aloth is like both very strong because Wizard and a huge liability because Wizard
I have Eder and my tanky monk like posing at the front
AND ENEMIES JUST walk right by straight to Aloth
My heals only generate so quickly, I am immediately seeing an issue
To be fair, this build is fantastic solo
But I am not doing solo because we like characters
We'll see if I have time to play tomorrow
SO. I HAVE COLLECTED Durance. I appreciate that throughout he's like Watchers suck and you can be kind of offended but he just doesn't care at all
And we love him for that

He's just Durance
SOOOooOooOoo. I forgot what I'm supposed to do first
I think I skipped some steps. But I'm about to punch in Lord Raedric
This will probably fail but gotta try
Because I'm already in the castle, creeping around. Did the dungeons, on my way to say hi to Nedmar
I think I did that backward too but whatever
Killed Lord Raedric and crawled all the way to Caed Nuuuuaaaa
Picked up Kana and I am reminded how neat Chanters are
I feel like they are what bards wish they could be
