The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as Obsidian Entertainment unveils more details about their upcoming RPG, Avowed. In a recent interview with Game Informer, the developers provided a glimpse into the game's structure and gameplay mechanics. Unlike the expansive world of Skyrim, Avowed offers an open-zone experience, making it more comparable to The Outer Worlds. This design choice aims to deliver a focused and engaging adventure without overwhelming players with an entirely open-world format.
Avowed's gameplay also draws inspiration from successful elements of Baldur's Gate 3, though the developers have decided against including a romance mechanic. This decision allows for a more streamlined narrative experience. Mark your calendars for November 12, 2024, when Avowed will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
