Avowed

February 19, 2025 by Adam in Adam's Games

One of the quirky artifacts I still have from my Neverwinter Nights days is a box signed by a bunch of people from Obsidian who worked on the sequel.  The founders worked on the original Fallout and Baldur's Gate, and have generally made good games since then.  Pillars of Eternity 2 is one of Emma's favorite RPGs and their latest game, Avowed, is set in the same world.

I started playing last night and I'm impressed.  There's a cool, fungal art style to the land and your player has a touch of weird fungal growths, which I suspect ties into the story somehow.  I've been itching for a good RPG and excited to dig into this one more.
