Luminescent cave mushrooms, verdant forests awash with gigantic flora, and hulking sunlit temples complete with skeleton-infested depths and tombs are plentiful. The two-handed, first-person combat style is unmistakable, but there are obvious differences in early documentation.Īt least directly compared to the likes of Skyrim and Oblivion, Avowed seems to be a far more colorful game, reminding me far more of The Outer Worlds. If The Outer Worlds was Obsidian's take on a Fallout-style game, Avowed is undoubtedly Obsidian's take on The Elder Scrolls. The Outer Worlds meets Pillars of Eternity
I think fans of The Outer Worlds should be particularly excited, too. As much as I love the tactical combat of Pillars, seeing the classic CRPG add new dimensions with action-oriented combat is undoubtedly going to bring in a whole legion of new fans to the franchise. I am a huge Pillars of Eternity fan and seeing stills of Avowed's early builds filled me with a ton of excitement.
Warriors will get access to more physical attacks like swordplay, powerful kicks, and shield bashes, while casters will be given a range of spellbook options to customize and tailor their combat style, with attacks bound to specific buttons. The combat seems to be more loadout-based than The Elder Scrolls, which gives you mountains of spells in a gigantic list. Familiar creatures such as the lizard-like Xaurips will appear, alongside much larger and deadlier threats, all the way up to wyverns and drakes.
Pillars-style guns may also appear in the game, similar to the muskets and arquebuses found in the original two titles. Weapon enchantments seem to be a big feature too, with magically enchanted swords and frozen arrows, as examples. I also saw status effect spells like Fetid Caress, imbuing enemies with corrosive poison. Two-handed spells like Fireball are conjured using complex-looking hand gestures, but decimate enemies in a storm of magma and fire. Wizard spells like Jolting Touch, which can fry enemies with forks of lightning, will be present. Obsidian’s excellent character writing and penchant for branching narratives, combined with the rich World of Eternity gives Avowed some seriously huge potential, and I can’t wait to see the game fully revealed.”Īlthough there is no concrete release date set at the moment, we will be sure to keep youn updated so be sure to check back with us here at Gamerficial.Source: Xbox Game Studios (Image credit: Source: Xbox Game Studios)Īvowed will feature many elements Pillars of Eternity fans will be familiar with. “Avowed went from relative obscurity in my list of most anticipated Xbox games to sitting near the top, especially as a big fan of The Outer Worlds.

You could use a combination of swords and magic, or go full two-handed magic, which is required to wield some of the game’s more potent spells and abilities.” “You could wield two daggers and be a stealthy rogue, or dive into archery with a two-handed bow. It has also been noted that the game will use a similar two-handed combat system to what we have seen used in Skyrim, this will also give players the ability to use several class playstyles. Avowed is said to be similar to what we have seen from The Outer Worlds, and will include “action-oriented first-person combat and deep RPG exploration and narrative system.
