Greetings, fellow adventurers!
Unleashed onto the Dawnshore, I’ve already spent three hours (and change) questing across it.
As someone who bounced off Dragon Age: The Veilguard and has always struggled with Skyrim (sorry!)
I wasn’t sure what to expect.
But Avowed already has me hooked.
Allows you to get stuck in with combat
Not everyone is always in the mood for stacks of numbers.
But Avowed’s open areas are detailed spaces to explore thanks to some parkour-like first-person clambering.
Just look where you’re going lest you take a fall.
The power of the lore button
This month, we’re diving into the highly anticipatedupcoming Obsidian game.

No fantasy world is complete without a web of proper nouns to become properly entangled in.
Never feel lost again by fancy fantasy words!
Most importantly, it’s clear.
Even the sprinting works a bit like in Call of Duty.
It all feels wonderfully natural.
For instance, though shields can be placed in the off-hand, spellbooks also must inhabit that slot.
Bonus points if you shatter frozen foes with a bullet.
Aiming down sights, you might power up shots, hitting weak spots for big damage.
But you might also let go of your bow pull early to get off shots a bit faster.
Played this way, it all becomes a marvelous fantasy flavored FPS in its own right.
Making camp means making friends
