Avowed Hands-On - After 4 Hours This RPG Bought Me with Its Story and Dialogues. Obsidian Knows What It's Doing

It seems that Obsidian is on the right path to give us a really solid RPG. A few hours with Avowed has already made me look forward to the release.

My relationship with Avowed can certainly be considered complicated. On the one hand, it's a game I've been eagerly waiting for because it means a return to my favorite fantasy world. On the other hand, the first materials from the game weren't optimistic... to put it mildly. So I was skeptical because Avowed seemed like a title many years too late. However, subsequent presentations gave me hope that there was something with potential behind this not-so-attractive facade.

So we've come to the present moment, when a preview version of the game ended up in my hands. And you know what? Obsidian proved two things to me: First, they can't advertise their own games and they harm themselves by doing so. They should finally hire better people for doing trailers and gameplay showcases. Second, Avowed looks promising and could be an impressive return to form after a moderately successful The Outer Worlds. This is really an inconspicuous gem that can surprise many people.
