Yeah, I’m interested in a more linear experience honestly, I’m getting tired of open world games, I would love a refined version of Outer Worlds that’s set in a fantasy world. Having a linear experience with branching paths was a really enjoyable experience for me. I think it could give Obsidian the chance to craft way better worlds while telling epic stories as they are a fairly small dev team.
Agreed, Outer Worlds got a lot of grief for its length but I kind of liked the “30 hours and done” experience I had with it. It was pretty polished and enjoyable. It probably has something to do with the fact that I can’t just game for 8-12 hours like I used to when I was younger and didn’t have stuff to do, but I suspect I’m not the only person in that boat that grew up on F3, FNV, Oblivion & Skyrim.
Yeah, also with Avowed they have the chance to keep that 30ish hour experience while enhancing replayability compared to outer worlds. I would love to be able to start a character and know I can probably finish the playthrough in a week. My Skyrim characters can go on for months and halfway through I am wishing I could have a new character, but I also experience the sunken cost fallacy making me want to continue the save to the end.

Once you add the add ons in it hits almost 40 which seemed about right for me.
