Why It Matters
The RPG experts at Obsidian return to the world of the Pillars of Eternity series for a brand-new, first-person adventure. Avowed looks like fantasy RPG comfort food, with swords and spells (and guns!) at the heart of combat, and choices and consequences driving its wizards-and-warriors narrative.
