I'd rein in your expectations a bit depending on how you play Skyrim, I'm a big fan of stealth builds and sneaking around to steal stuff/assassinate targets without getting caught. That gameplay style is pretty much impossible in Avowed, most buildings can't be entered and when you do steal things the NPC's don't react whatsoever, there's no potential penalty to it. You can't pickpocket people either, and even if you could 90% of NPC's don't even move, they just stand in place entirely static, so it would hardly be a challenge. Lock picking is in the game to a degree, but you literally just hold down a button in front of a chest, there's no mini-game or anything attached to the process and again no consequences if you get seen doing it.
If you mainly like exploring and fighting you may well enjoy it, I will say that magic builds feel rather fun compared to how they're often implemented in other games. Archery felt clunky to me, melee was fun but didn't grab my interest for long. Your in game strength is very much tied to your equipment also, while you can diversify your builds and level up doing so doesn't feel as impactful as I would personally like. If your gear isn't up to snuff it doesn't always make much difference in my experience. That leads into the diversity of equipment, there's not a lot of it par a handful of uniques, chances are you'll keep the same items for a large chunk of the game and use resources you can find/get from breaking down other kit to upgrade it. I found that a bit of a let down personally, but some seem to enjoy the more streamlined approach, different courses and all that.
It's worth a shot if you have games pass tbh, if not there might be a £1 offer or something going on if you check.
