Avowed promises to give you plenty of opportunity to roleplay and make important choices, but does it deliver?

Edge’s hands-on preview foundAvowed"a touch underwhelming."

The slice of the game available was only a small section however, comprised of a system of caves.

Not exactly the nail-biting tension you’d expect from the developer ofFallout: New Vegas.

Obsidiangame director Carrie Patel explains that these smaller decisions are designed to add up, though.

There are also bigger decisions to be made further down the line.

You’ll have to choose which factions and politics you want to support.

“Giving players things to dig into - that’s what makes it meaningful roleplay,” Patel says.
