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. Now it looks like Obsidian is inching into Skyrim’s territory, and with The Elder Scrolls 6 likely still years away, the idea of a big, fantasy first-person RPG is exciting.Source: Xbox Game Studios (Image credit: Source: Xbox Game Studios)Īvowed will feature many elements Pillars of Eternity fans will be familiar with. Pillars of Eternity was a love letter to cRPG greats like Baldur’s Gate, while The Outer Worlds evoked the grim satire and meaningful choices of Fallout: New Vegas (which Obsidian also created).
Over the past decade, Obsidian has garnered a lot of love and praise for taking beloved RPG subgenres and adding its own unique twist.
