Avowed’s huge 66GB update includes major improvements for the game’s whole progression system, along with key bug fixes and buffs for companions

A recent patch for Avowed, version 1.2.2, has reworked the tier system, making it more dynamic and less punishing for players using lower-tier weapons against higher-tier enemies. The update allows for smoother transitions between tiers, reducing significant disadvantages unless there is a large upgrade gap. Players can now engage effectively with lower-tier weapons, relying on skill and strategy rather than solely on high-tier equipment. Companions have received health boosts and improved recovery, enhancing their combat viability. The patch also addresses various bugs, particularly in quest progression, and improves visual and audio feedback for abilities. While some issues remain, the developers at Obsidian have shown commitment to refining the game.

The Play Store sucks, so here’s what I use instead

As of early February 2025, there are nearly 2.1 million apps available on the Play Store, with over 1,100 new apps introduced daily, resulting in an average of almost 42,000 new options each month. The search function on the Play Store is often ineffective for broader queries, and users face challenges due to the lack of sorting options and transparency regarding app updates. F-Droid is a platform for free and open-source software (FOSS) applications, requiring sideloading or the use of clients like Neo Store or Droid-ify. Obtainium is a tool that allows users to access open-source applications and updates directly from their sources, supporting over a dozen repositories including GitHub and GitLab, and enables users to export curated app lists and track updates without downloading them.

You know the drill: Avowed’s default waypoint and UI settings are way too handholdy, so you should change them ASAP

Avowed allows players to customize their gameplay experience through an extensive settings and accessibility menu. Key modifications made include switching the quest tracker mode to "Show on Update," turning off objective markers, and disabling interaction icons. These changes enhanced immersion by reducing intrusive prompts and allowing for more organic exploration. The game includes a compass for active quest objectives, which can also be disabled for a more challenging experience. The UI and navigation options in Avowed blend old-school challenge with modern convenience, catering to different player preferences.
