Will Avowed be better than Skyrim?

Whether Avowed is "better" than Skyrim depends entirely on player preference, as they offer fundamentally different RPG experiences: Avowed aims for focused narrative, deeper combat, and companion interactions in semi-open zones (like Mass Effect meets Pillars of Eternity), while Skyrim excels as a massive, truly open-world sandbox with emergent exploration and environmental freedom, but weaker central stories and combat. If you prioritize story, choices, and action combat, Avowed might win; if you love pure exploration and a malleable world, Skyrim remains king.

What is the rarest thing in Skyrim?

The "rarest" item in Skyrim is subjective, but often cited are uniquely named, single-occurrence items like the Notched Pickaxe (found near a skeleton) or Cabo Zane's Fane (a dagger for slicing dragon scales), or quest-specific items like Barenziah's Crown or Colovian Brandy, which can be permanently missed if choices aren't made carefully, making them rare through player error rather than inherent scarcity. Truly rare items are often unique artifacts or quest rewards that have no other source in the game, like Daedric artifacts or unique weapons such as Firiniel's End, but many players consider quest-critical items that can be permanently lost to be the rarest.

Is it possible to max out all skill trees in Skyrim?

Yes, you can max all 18 skills to 100 in Skyrim, reaching level 81, but to get all perks (251 total), you need to use the "Legendary" system to reset skills to level 15 and re-level them, which allows you to gain more perk points and theoretically reach level 252 to unlock every perk without mods. It's time-consuming but achievable through gameplay, especially with clever use of skills like Illusion (Muffle) or Alteration (Telekinesis) and fast-traveling.

Why is Avowed so popular?

Clarity of Design. Open world RPGs are known more for their jankiness and their huge and potentially enticing “possibility space” than they are for providing a tight, fun gameplay experience.
