Political Intrigue and Meaningful Decisions in the Living Lands

"The game gives players constant opportunities to express themselves and explore their character's alignment," Patel explains. She emphasizes the importance of mindful gameplay, encouraging players to reflect on their engagement: "When are you most invested? When are you curious? What keeps you engaged moment to moment?"

The choices players make will directly impact their journey through the intricate world of Eora, specifically within the Living Lands, where political power struggles are central to the plot. Patel highlights the interconnectedness of these narrative threads: "I've enjoyed weaving together the stories that connect these two worlds."

Players assume the role of an Aedyran Empire envoy tasked with investigating a mysterious spiritual plague, all while pursuing their own political ambitions. Patel stresses the significance of player agency: "Giving players depth to explore—that's what makes it meaningful roleplay. It's about who you want to be, and how the game lets you express that."

Beyond the rich RPG mechanics, Avowed boasts strategic combat blending magic, swords, and firearms. Patel notes the impact of player choices on combat: "The abilities and weapons you choose create vastly different experiences with each playthrough."

Furthermore, IGN confirmed the game features numerous endings, with a multitude of variations. Patel reveals: "We have a double-digit number of ending slides, and many possible combinations. It's a true Obsidian game; your ending is a direct reflection of your choices throughout the entire game."
