I was looking forward to Avowed, but the soy content looks to be immense

Microsoft told content creators not to show the character creator -- as others mentioned here -- because it contained pronouns and the typical subversive character creation options we see in other woke games.
All the youtube previewers tried to play it off that it was "unfinished" and that "there were spoilers". But we all know that is a lie. If the character creator was unfinished Microsoft simply could have put up in bold words "work in progress" and had YouTubers post a disclaimer saying it was unfinished. Boom. Problem solved.
Additionally, one of the leaders of some mercenary guild in the game is of course a woman, and she literally looks like a dude, wearing full blown male armour with male proportions. And as others pointed out, no straight white male companions.
That's not to mention that the gameplay looks dated as heck, and there is absolutely nothing original looking about the game. It has clunky, janky gameplay,which looks especially awful coming off of amazing looking games made in the exact same engine, like Black Myth Wukong... from a Chinese indie studio of all places. And the graphics also look washed out yet over-saturated, so it has this blurry, disjointed, uncanny valley look. It reminds me a lot of that other awful DEI game, Immortals of Aveum, yet seems even more washed out.
Basically, it reeks of being designed by DEI hires.
It frankly looks like a mobile game.
