Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed will take the studio's world of Eora from the Pillars of Eternity series while transforming the franchise's format into a first-person RPG. While fantasy fans were quick to draw comparisons between the upcoming game's trailer and The Elder Scrolls series, the Pillars of Eternity universe has some bizarre features that are sure to make it stand Even hostile interactions can present multiple non-combat roleplaying opportunities. A gang of bandits in Skyrim will ins...

Either way, the fact that Avowed 's gods were inventions of mortals and there is no true higher power that created the universe taps in to a Lovecraftian sense of dread. That dread will likely be infused into Avowed 's plot in a way that the Godhead and CHIM are unlikely to ever play a central role in an Elder Scrolls games. How exactly Avowed plans to handle its story remains to be seen, but the creeping existential unease that hangs over Avowed 's universe will almost certainly be felt, and co...

In some ways Skyrim ’s lack of follower depth complements the game’s broader design. Skyrim prioritizes freedom above all else, and the range and flexibility of its follower characters allows them to blend in no matter who the player wants to roleplay as, while in New Vegas characters like Boone are incompatible with roleplaying decisions like joining the Legion for story reasons. Without its focus on player freedom it’s unlikely that the game would have achieved the replay-value or longevity Sk...

There's more evidence that Avowed will be set during Woedica's reign as queen of the gods. Both Pillars of Eternity games, especially PoE 2: Deadfire , were set in fantasy worlds with architecture, clothing, and technology from around the 1500s to 1800s. This included pistols, cannons, and magical bombs. In Avowed 's trailer, the world's architecture and weaponry seems far more medieval, likely indicating that the upcoming RPG will be set hundreds of years before the PoE ga Avowed should also ad...

Oaths are referenced twice, and the trailer ends with a reference to a crown. Crowns are one of Woedica's symbols, and unlike the other gods of Eora Woedica can be seen wearing a crown in all of her depictions. A crown symbol very similar to Woedica's can also be seen on the banner hanging from the castle in the trailer. While the narrator's identity is unclear, they appear to be describing a history where ruling families gained their power by making oaths to Woedica. When they broke those oaths...

Though it sometimes leads to silly outcomes, Bethesda's physics engine allows for the kind of small details that make its open worlds feel extra immersive. BioWare RPGs draw players in with a strong central narrative, but not games like The Elder Scrolls . Many open-world RPGs rely on the player immersing themselves in the world by making their own character, creating their own backstory, and setting their own goals. This reliance on the player to immerse themselves in the game makes these kinds...

Raven Rock isn’t just isolated. As a primarily Dark Elf settlement, the player is constantly reminded of their "Outlander" status even if they’re a Dunmer . Despite being an abandoned Imperial outpost, Raven Rock is undeniably Dark Elven. Its architecture, clothing, and the characters’ accents are all reminiscent of Morrowi Many of Skyrim 's dungeons lead the player through a clear linear path to the end, which in turn loops back to the start of the dungeon. Just as Avowed 's AI could be more dy...

In this sense, the Living Lands have a chance to intensely reflect the entirety of Eora , t he name of the world first established in Pillars of Eternity . The Living Lands are described as a "lawless land" where different communities are constantly at odds with one another that result in petty armed conflicts. That constantly changing composition of the setting's inhabitants, however, shouldn’t undermine the opportunity for the Living Lands to reflect the intensely different cultures from acros...

While returning to the same mega-dungeon could risk feeling repetitive, it also creates a far greater sense of accomplishment. The Endless Paths of Od Nua feels like a nearly insurmountable challenge to conquer, a dungeon that is genuinely intimidating and keeps the player in suspense, wondering what mysteries the next level might ent One of the strangest aspects of the Pillars of Eternity universe is the way that death works in Eora. Not only is Eora's relationship with death likely to be one o...

Based on just how heavily the trailer features Woedica , Avowed may be set during the height of the goddess' power. Woedica may not even be "the Burned Queen" or "the Exiled Queen" yet at all. She only gained those names after the other gods of Eora cast Woedica from her throne, and the fire god Magran burned her. "The Strangler" is Woedica's manifestation on Eora. She is an old woman who wears expensive but tattered clothing, and who supposedly appears on empty roads to strangle those who break...

However, this also comes with a cost. Avowed will need to go above and beyond Skyrim if it's going to set a new standard for the genre on the new generation of consoles . Avowed will also need to include the small details that help bring the worlds of The Elder Scrolls games to l However, the fact that Pillars of Eternity isn’t nearly as well known as The Elder Scrolls could be Avowed's biggest advantage. For many fans, Skyrim was their first introduction to the world of The Elder Scrolls , maki...

When it comes to the question of whether players will be able to use guns as a weapon in Avowed , the game's setting in time is key. If the game is set in the same period as Pillars of Eternity the answer is almost certainly yes. However, there are indications that Avowed may be set long before the events of Pillars of Eternity , in a very different period of Eora's histo Obsidian has become an extremely productive developer with several projects in the pipeline at the moment. While some of thes...
