Avowed director pushes back on the Skyrim comparisons, says the RPG is "a lot closer" to Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds
When Avowed was first announced back in 2020, the internet latched on to one comparison that Obsidian's RPG hasn't been able to shake off since: a comparison to Skyrim. A first-person perspective, fantasy world, sword-and-magic dual-wielding - the surface-level similarities are certainly there, but Avowed's leads say the game has more in common with the studio's prior work.
