Avowed Takes a Hint from Obsidian’s Forgotten Gem
Although Obsidian is often recognized for big titles like Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, there are many other games they’ve created that don’t always get the attention they deserve when discussing their portfolio. Games such as Tyranny and Skyforge are sometimes overlooked. Interestingly enough, Avowed, with its role-playing elements, has been significantly influenced by Pentiment, a game that appears quite different at first glance. While Pentiment is an illuminated manuscript-style historical drama, it’s a stark contrast to the first-person fantasy action of Avowed, but Avowed would be significantly less impressive without adopting one of its key features from Pentiment.
