Game News Avowed Released

[Crispy]

For anyone else playing the Game Pass version, this mod clears up most of the ridiculous blurriness of the game and boosts the colors a bit. Huge improvement. See my post in the mod's comments section for Game Pass installation instructions for it.

You will be wishing for the days of Sawyer and Cain/Boyarsky.

Anyone still playing big name slop has no standards and will keep consuming regardless.

I just realized all that mushroom shit in character creation allows you to make a character who looks like he has monkey pox. Very progressive, obsidian.

This is unfortunately the reason why we can't have nice things. It's funny that they bring the same names over as if they were Ass Midas. Supposing they had any input in any of the sewer work they're hired for, which we all know isn't the case.

The wait is finally over—Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment’s highly anticipated fantasy RPG has officially launched! Step into the breathtaking Living Lands, a wild and mysterious island located in the Pillars of Eternity world of Eora, and embark on a journey filled with danger, discovery, and adventure.​

​

A Land in Turmoil​

The Living Lands is a frontier unlike any other. This rugged and untamed island has become a haven for exiles, dreamers, and adventurers seeking a fresh start. Its vibrant regions and scattered settlements pulse with life, each hiding untold stories and ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered.​

​

But this land of promise is fraught with peril. The Dreamscourge, a devastating soul-plague, is driving settlers to madness and turning them against one another. The very land itself resists colonization, haunted by echoes of lives long past. As an envoy chosen by a foreign emperor and blessed by a mysterious god, you are thrust into the heart of this chaos. With divine powers at your fingertips and the will to shape your own destiny, you’ll confront ancient threats, unravel mysteries, and decide the fate of the Living Lands. Will you unite its people or watch as their struggles tear them apart? The choices you make will define the future of the Living Lands—and the person you become.​

​

Forge Your Own Path​

In Avowed, the power of choice is yours. Create a character and shape your playstyle with four expansive skill trees—Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, and Godlike. Whether you’re a stealthy sniper armed with dual pistols and a longbow or a spell-slinging barbarian wielding an axe and a grimoire, the possibilities are endless. Your choices define who you are and how you’ll tackle the challenges ahead.​

​

But you’re not alone on this journey. Your companions each bring their own skills, personalities, and deeply personal stories:​

• Kai, the steadfast protector, whose calm demeanor and unwavering loyalty make him a dependable shield in battle.
• Giatta, a brilliant animancer scientist, whose relentless curiosity drives her to uncover the mysteries of the Dreamscourge, even at great personal risk.
• Marius, a lone-wolf hunter, whose sharp wit and tracking expertise make him an invaluable ally in the wilderness.
• Yatzli, a fiery Godless expert, harnessing explosive magic and a rebellious spirit. Her disdain for the gods adds complexity to her character and your choices.

Their history, relationships, and perspectives intertwine with your story, adding depth and weight to every decision you make. Will you earn their trust, challenge their beliefs, or forge something more profound? How you guide your companions—and how they influence you—shapes the adventure in unexpected ways.​

​

Your Living Lands, Your Way​

Avowed is a game built to immerse you in its world. The Living Lands is a sprawling playground for adventurers, rewarding exploration at every turn. Traverse rugged cliffs, wade through winding rivers, and uncover unique hidden treasures—from ancient elemental weapons to fragments of God Shrine Totems that come together creating powerful new abilities.​

​

Combat is equally immersive, offering a seamless blend of magic, melee, and ranged attacks. Unleash shockwaves with Grimoire Snap, trade health for devastating power with Blood Magic, wield weapons you have upgraded and enchanted, or mix and match abilities to create a playstyle that’s entirely your own. Every encounter is an opportunity to experiment, strategize, and push the boundaries of you and your companions potentials.​

​

At the heart of Avowed lies its dedication to player choice. Inspired by the freedom of tabletop RPGs, the game puts the power in your hands. Your decisions ripple across the Living Lands, shaping alliances, influencing factions, and determining the fate of your companions. Whether you negotiate peace, spark conflict, or carve your own path through the chaos, your actions leave a lasting impact on the world of Eora.​

​

This seamless blend of storytelling, exploration, and creativity makes Avowed an unforgettable RPG experience, offering an experience where every choice matters and every discovery feels personal.​

​

Start Your Adventure Today​

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Obsidian Entertainment or new to Eora, Avowed invites you to dive into a world of wonder, danger, and opportunity. With its vibrant setting, unforgettable characters, and deeply immersive gameplay, this is the role-playing experience you’ve been waiting for.​

​

The Living Lands are calling. Gather your courage, forge your path, and let the adventure begin!​

Does Obsidian send you ad copy or pay you by the word?

Would only be justified if they mailed him toilet paper instead.

Forge Your Own Path​

In Avowed, the power of choice is yours.​

Unless you want to attack an Unapproved Person, get caught breaking the law, interact with almost any object in the world that should have physics, have straight companions, be straight yourself, play as any of the races previously available, choose not to hire a companion...

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

As someone who has actually played Avowed. It's pretty good. I like the combat and the exploration and the dialogue had made me laugh a few times. Better than a lot of other stuff that's come out these days.

Guess you can't be straight in a game that doesn't have any romance options.

So you're saying in order to be a based, non-woke game, you need romances? Huh.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Its more like Infinitron desperately signaling to Obsidian for attention. He wants the Codex to have mainstream recognition, and be place where RPG developers come by and dish out insider dirt. Kinda like Gamasutra or NeoGAF back in the day.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

I'm not even interested in the shitshow when it comes to this game.

 

[Icewater]

Currently playing and enjoying. U mad, codexfags?

This is the kind of self-destructive and lowkey mentally unstable Reddit post which leads to people injecting cow urine and dying from blood poisoning only to spite others with gaming integrity

Same energy.

Spoiler

 

[Zdzisiu]

17k concurrent players on release day on steam?

KCD2 had 10 times that.

Obsidian is truly dead now.

 

[Lexx]

Is KCD2 a gamepass game?

If you can buy the game on Steam for 70 bucks or pay 11 bucks on GamePass, you are retarded if you buy it on Steam. Comparing Steam numbers means absolutely nothing.

Comparing steam numbers means a lot when it comes to the developer's earnings and ability to sustain itself.

 

[Shadowfang]

Its so sad that i am excited for the chance of watching this, once beloved, company crash and burn.
I just wanted to play video games... but she had to bang five guys, didn't she?

 

[GamerCat_]

I like the combat and the exploration and the dialogue had made me laugh a few times.

"I like the combat and the exploration and the dialogue had made me laugh a few times. I enjoy using currency to purchase the latest video games so that I can engage in combat and exploration. Especially if they are satisfying. This game also has characters who communicate vocally with each other, in a fashion which is sometimes dialogue, and sometimes a monologue directed at the player character protagonist, who is controlled by me, but not actually me. This video game also contains such thrilling video game staples as enemies, movement, and skills. Avowed contained everything I wanted and expected from a video game media product."

 

[The Nameless One]

Good for you! The game did make us laugh a few times too, without even playing it, so we're all very excited to continue to laugh at it while not playing it at all.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

If you can buy the game on Steam for 70 bucks or pay 11 bucks on GamePass, you are retarded if you buy it on Steam.

Fuckload of people buys games on steam even if they're available elsewhere for less. How is this something that needs pointing out? Outer worlds came to steam after a full year of being whored out and with a full transparency of how big of a turd it is and had comparable peak lmao.

Comparing Steam numbers means absolutely nothing.

Only if number bad, if number good it means a lot. Did you know that sawyer bought a watch?

I'm not talking about the PC, i'm talking about the player.

Trouble is Obsidian doesn't need to sustain itself anymore, they're not an independent studio.

Microsoft set the prices the way they did because Microsoft wants people to (manipulate people to) sign up for GamePass.
