story
608 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Avadon" is a central focus, featuring a rich narrative filled with political intrigue, moral choices, and well-developed characters, though it is often criticized for its linearity and lack of exploration. Players appreciate the depth and complexity of the plot, which includes meaningful side quests and character interactions, but some find the quest management cumbersome and the pacing uneven. Overall, while the storytelling is engaging and immersive, it may not appeal to those seeking a more open-ended or action-driven experience.
“What shines is its good storyline and the moral choices to be made.”
“The main story itself was intriguing, with plenty of choice and consequence, and a good shroud of mystery surrounding it all.”
“The story is deep and meaningful and you can influence the ending through decisions you make during your play.”
“It is tedious, boring with an uncompelling linear story.”
“You pretty much can't deviate from the story for most of it, because your blank slate of a main character is just a lap dog for the clearly evil regime that they've joined for no particular reason, and been given a high-ranking position and authority to speak on behalf of this regime... also for no particular reason that you're aware of for 90% of the game.”
“The storyline is not very imaginative, nor is it very absorbing.”
