Navigating Political Intrigue in The Living Lands

"The game provides continuous opportunities for players to express themselves and explore their alignments," Patel explains. "It encourages players to be mindful of their experience, asking themselves: 'When am I engaged? When am I curious? When does my interest wane? What keeps me invested?'"

Patel emphasizes that outcomes in Avowed are directly tied to player exploration and actions within the intricate world of Eora, particularly in the politically charged region of The Living Lands. "I've relished uncovering the interconnected narratives that weave these two worlds together," she adds.

Players assume the role of an Aedyran Empire envoy tasked with investigating a spiritual plague while simultaneously pursuing their own political ambitions. "Meaningful roleplaying comes from providing players with rich content to explore," Patel notes. "It's about defining who you want to be in this world and how you express that identity through your actions."

Beyond its deep RPG mechanics, Avowed features strategic combat blending magic, swords, and firearms. "The abilities and weaponry you choose significantly alter your gameplay experience with each playthrough," Patel confirms.

Furthermore, Patel confirmed to IGN the game boasts numerous endings, with a vast array of possible combinations. "We have a double-digit number of ending slides, leading to many different combinations," she reveals. "True to Obsidian's style, your ending reflects the cumulative effect of your choices throughout the game, shaped by the content you encounter and your actions within it."
