Avowed, who caused a sensation during the Xbox Gamed Showcase, gives new information via the game director. The opportunity to learn a little more about what awaits you in the RPG.
The highly anticipated RPG Avowed, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, made a splash during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 presentation with a captivating new trailer. Beyond the excitement generated by the revealed footage, substantial information was shared during a special episode of the Official Xbox Podcast with game director Carrie Patel.
Avowed should be very popular
One of the major reveals is the introduction of a third-person camera option. A significant novelty for Avowed which had until now favored a first-person perspective in all its trailers. This feature is a direct response to the needs of some players who find the first-person view uncomfortable. Particularly because of motion sickness.
Carrie Patel also presented improvements aimed at making the user experience more intuitive. Including clear visual and audio cues indicating a weapon’s ineffectiveness due to a lack of upgrades. This system should help players quickly understand the needs to upgrade their equipment.
A bit of Skyrim
In fact, the game features a dynamic day-night cycle and allows for in-depth interactions at the player’s base camp. Where the characters can rest and discuss recent events. Character progression is also highlighted. With attribute points to assign to specific tiers, influencing various aspects like damage, health, attack speed, and more.
Finally, Avowed is structured around an open class system. Allowing great freedom in developing skills across different trees like Fighter, Ranger, Magician and Divine. During the podcast, an example quest was detailed. Showing how the player can choose to resolve a situation through force or diplomacy, illustrating the depth of narrative choices available. These options therefore reinforce the RPG aspect of the game. Where the player’s decisions have a significant impact on the development of the story.
