Avowed trailer update#

Together, the two games are shaping up to be quite the pairing in Microsoft's exclusive arsenal. Obsidian is also working on The Outer Worlds 2, as announced at this year's E3.

Avowed trailer update#

However, the report speculates we may see an update for the game as early as The Game Awards this year, if not next year's E3 event.

The footage seen by Windows Central was from a pre-alpha build of the game, so there is plenty of room for change. The environments will also be destructible, using fire to burn down blocked entryways, for instance. Unlike Skyrim, Avowed will reportedly have a more colourful visual palette, with luminescent caves, verdant forests and neon effects. Fans may even recognise enemies, from the lizard-like Xaurips to deadly drakes. Weapon enchantments are a major facet of combat, such as enchanted swords. Spells like the lightning based Jolting Touch and two-handed Fireball are present, conjured using complex hand gestures, and status effects like Fetid Caress also feature. Those magic attacks take a leaf out of Pillars of Eternity's book. Warriors will have access to physical attacks, while casters can customise their combat style using spellbook options and magic bound to specific buttons.

The report states that combat seems 'more loadout-based' than Skyrim.

That means dual-wielding weapons and spells for potent attacks, or equipping a mixture of the two. I hope this lives up to the expectations. No other game have scratched my itch for exploring other than TES. The report suggests that, if The Outer Worlds was the studio's take on Fallout, then Avowed is their take on The Elder Scrolls in both its fantasy setting and combat.Īvowed will feature two handed combat and multiple classes, seemingly borrowed from Skyrim. Pillars of eternity's universe is great it's my second loved universe after TES.
