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.
