Avowed

The first AAA RPG since Microsoft's acquisition of Obsidian Entertainment is Avowed. Although the first footage seemed a little generic, the fantasy action RPG has plenty of the usual Obsidian qualities and more.

Avowed takes place in the Living Lands, a mysterious island in the fictional world of Eora first introduced to players in Pillars of Eternity, but Avowed can be played independently without knowledge of the previous two CRPGs. This land faces a menacing threat - a mysterious fungal plague that defies nature and reason, spreading chaos across its wilderness. As an envoy of Aedyr, the player is sent to investigate this 'Dream Scourge' and the player's character's connection to the land. The protagonist is not a 'normal' person, but a godlike one, a denizen of the world chosen by the gods at birth and endowed with special powers. The story manages to combine dark moments of fascism and intrigue with lighter and more humorous moments.
