Avowed, the highly anticipated fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment releasing on February 18th<\/a>, promises to offer players a rich and immersive experience within the Pillars of Eternity universe. The creators of Fallout: New Vegas are designing a world that focuses on meaningful decisions that will influence the game’s narrative<\/strong>, an aspect that fans have been eagerly awaiting.<\/p>\n\n\n

The reason for no open world: the narrative component<\/h2>\n\n\n

In a recent interview with Xbox Wire<\/a>, Obsidian explained that Avowed will not be an open-world game. Instead, the map will be divided into zones densely populated with content, similar to the model used in The Outer Worlds. Kate Dollarhye, the narrative designer, emphasized that this structure aims to improve the pacing of the story, allowing developers more detailed control over mission progression<\/strong>. “Pacing is really complicated in open-world games, as it’s difficult to know where the player is at any given time,” commented Dollarhye.<\/p>\n\n\n
