Avowed made me scream to my doctor: “I am a wizard!” (lemmy.world)

I have a very bad case of disc hernia, and today, I had back surgery to fix it—somehow. For the last two weeks, I was completely bedridden, and all I did was play games and read books.

Two days ago, I finished Avowed as a wizard, clocking in around 55 hours. I guess it stuck with me subconsciously because while waking up from general anesthesia, I started screaming, “I am a wizard! I am a wizard!” multiple times.

I had no idea I was coming out of surgery, and I only realized it when my doctor said, “Okay, wizard, can you raise your leg for me?” At that moment, my brain went: “Wait, why is this NPC asking me to raise my leg? Oh… why am I in a bed? Oh… this looks like a hospital!”

It finally clicked that I was still under anesthesia, but by then, everyone was smiling at me like, “Okay, wizard!”

Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

Not OP, but I'm about 8 hours in and love it so far. It definitely has a few things I'd prefer it tweak, like a lack of HDR support on PC and no custom map markers, but they're simply annoying, not deal breakers.

Not OP, but I also just finished the game. I had a lot of fun, IMO it's a solid 8/10. It's not the greatest RPG but it's got decent writing, fun choices and mostly interesting characters. The exploration is fun, but with the way gearing and loot works it gets stale (luckily for me, that only happened near the end of the game).

Hope the game does well cause it's probably the most "finished' an obsidian game has ever been.
