Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG, 'Avowed', has been detailed further through various sources. GameSpot highlighted that the game will feature open-zone areas comparable in size to the larger maps of 'The Outer Worlds'. GamesRadar mentioned that the game contains a vast amount of content, with developers saying that 'not everybody's gonna find' everything. A 25-minute gameplay video was released, providing more insight into the game's mechanics, as reported by VGC_News. PcGamer revealed that 'Avowed' is taking a 'classless' approach, moving away from 'Pillars of Eternity's stat-heavy builds in favor of more flexible 'Skyrim-like' ability trees. Additionally, PcGamer noted that 'Avowed' is drawing inspiration from 'Vermintide' for its first-person swordplay and that the game's companions won't abandon the player for making certain choices, emphasizing character development over approval ratings. Furthermore, the game will not support a 'pure pacifist run', indicating a focus on combat within the gameplay.
