In contrast, two large cities and many smaller towns and villages, as well as characteristic points on the map, such as monuments, are to appear alongside the wild and vast areas. The wilderness will look much better thanks to a dynamic weather system that will simulate local phenomena such as fog or microclimates near the rivers. Sponger reveals, among other things, that the world of Eora is to be larger, or rather more diverse and "packed" than Skyrim's. he teased the announcement of Fable at the recent event). The leak was confirmed by the insider Klobrille, who repeatedly passed information about Microsoft and Xbox-related games (e.g. However, a user of ResetEra forum known as Sponger published a post revealing something more about the new game.
And that's basically all the information that was revealed during the show. The fluttering castle banners display the crown of Woedica, goddess of law and justice, commonly referred to as the " Oathbinder." In Pillars of Eternity, Woedica is the patron deity of the expansionist Aedyr Empire. Juxtaposed with the " forged an empire" line from the trailer, the implication is that Avowed will be a prequel, not a sequel, to Pillars of Eternity, focused on the Woedica-worshiping heroes who built the Aedyr Empire and how their bond with their goddess was shattered by a cruel betrayal.Avowed is a first-person RPG set in the world of Pillars of Eternity, announced during the recent Xbox Games Showcase. The huge statue of the warrior with a wolf companion is Galawain, patron of the hunt and wild places. Souls and Divinity have always been major themes of the Pillars of Eternity games, with the core conflicts of both titles revolving around questions like "What are Gods?" and "Should we be worshiping them?" Avowed's gameplay is explicitly about the nature of oaths and vows, with the trailer's narrator alluding to a holy order of warriors that " forged an empire" with the " power of their oaths." These two themes aren't as contradictory as they seem at first glance old-school Oaths and Vows were made by invoking deities who smiled upon the honorable and punished oath-breakers.Īdditionally, the trailer for Avowed shows two symbols used by deities from the pantheon of Pillars of Eternity. However, there are many symbols and visual motifs in the cinematic trailer which hint that Avowed takes place centuries before Pillars of Eternity, if not millennia. Obsidian hasn't explicitly stated whether Avowed is a sequel or prequel to their Pillars of Eternity games. The narrator of the Avowed trailer, much like in the premiere Skyrim trailer, warns prospective players about the " monsters our sins have borne" while musing on the nature of war, monarchy, and oaths. Like the Baldur's Gate games, gameplay in Pillars of Eternity revolved around the tactical maneuverings of fantasy heroes in an adventuring party as they navigated the Renaissance-inspired fantasy world of Eora and uncovered dark secrets related to the nature of gods and the cycle of reincarnation.Īvowed, gameplay-wise, seems to draw inspiration from the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (and Obsidian's own first-person sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds) judging by the viewpoint character's dual-wielding of swords and magic in the trailer. Both Pillars of Eternity games drew narrative and gameplay inspiration from the Baldur's Gate franchise, an isometric Bioware-developed RPG series which adapted the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG to a digital format.
