Already the class balancing is in an issue in a single player party based game in which a PC of any class is able to complete the game on normal settings. People laugh at the idea of a slippery slope, but it is the single major axiom in our times that getting a small concession is the best way to get larger concessions in the future. After the co-op people got their way, the crowd would grow and they would want more. I don't think it would be as easy as you say, but the reason I fight against it is because that would only be the beginning. Nevertheless, I believe that it never, NEVER ends with them only wanting the basic game without any changes. From the sounds of it, Avowed is a couple degrees closer to CRPG-style party emphasis than its obvious Elder Scrolls counterparts.I don't mind people who want co-op, PrimeJunta. In Avowed, Patel told us, you'll be bringing along two companions at a time, each with their own combat specialties. "In some games they're optionally recruitable, but in Avowed they're deeply tied to the story, tied to your party… we really wanted to create this sense that you're in this big wild frontier, you're going on this adventure of discovery, and you have this small but tight knit crew with you." "One thing we wanted to do with Avowed was make sure the companions felt really integral to the story," Patel said. "But we want to tell more confined stories that the player can experience with their companions, and then move from part of the world to part of the world." Avowed will emphasize companion charactersĮchoing Urquhart's statement above, Avowed director Carrie Patel underlined the game's focus on companion characters. "We could go off and create an 8km x 8km open world and then deal with all the consequences of that-because that makes it a different style game," Urquhart said. Instead, Avowed will have a similar scale to Obsidian's scifi RPG, The Outer Worlds. Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart told us that, while Avowed's original pitch was a sprawling open world like Skyrim, the studio shifted to a more focused scope to emphasize Obsidian's strengths. (Image credit: Obsidian) Avowed won't have a sprawling open world I've got my heart set on an enchanted blunderbuss, personally. The Avowed gameplay reveal shows the player character firing dual-wielded flintlock pistols, but we'll have to see whether other flintlock fantasy options are available. Sharing a setting with Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity games, Avowed is in a fantasy world where society has discovered the powerful magic of shooting bullets at guys. I don't want to just say that Avowed is like Skyrim with guns, but, well-there it is. It's possible that some of these are a separate category of active abilities, like Skyrim's dragon shouts or racial powers. The exact way spells are wielded isn't clear yet: Some clips show the player character casting a spell with one glowy hand with a one-handed weapon held in the other, while others show the player casting slower, heavier spells with both hands before pulling their sword and shield back out.
There's plenty of magic to throw around, too. You can bash with dual-wielded axes, or a two-handed sword, or ranged weapons. The gameplay footage we've seen is very Elder Scrolls lots of bashing bandits and skeletons in first person.
