"Avowed" Brings Personal Characters To An Exciting World | Video Games | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Obsidian Entertainment's 'Avowed,' acquired by Microsoft in 2018, marks its inaugural AAA title under Xbox Game Studios. Set in the world of Eora, it shares ties with 'Pillars of Eternity,' yet stands alone for new players. As the player-controlled 'Envoy,' the narrative centers on investigating the Dreamscourge, a maddening affliction. While the main storyline can be completed in 15-20 hours, the extensive side quests and rich lore significantly enhance the experience, allowing players to influence their journey deeply and witness the game’s diverse combat and exploration opportunities.
Avowed's deep RPG mechanics and branching narratives allow players to engage deeply with its rich world and characters, ensuring a personalized experience for each player.
The game boasts an impressive amount of side content that significantly expands the narrative and lore of Eora, offering much more than just the main campaign.
