Navigating the mysterious and captivating world of Avowed, Obsidian's newest fantasy RPG, offers players an intricate web of quests designed to immerse them in the rich lore of the Living Lands. As a Godlike sent by the emperor of Aedyr, players must traverse these lands battling an affliction known as the Dreamscourge and unravel the stories hidden within its borders.
Main Quests and Beyond
The journey through Avowed starts with 12 enthralling main quests. These pivotal narratives not only reveal the core of the Living Lands and your role within it but also set the stage for dynamic interactions with your environment and its inhabitants. The central storyline presents a climactic arc that will test your skills and decision-making, especially at the critical juncture known as ‘Our Dreams Divide Us Still.’ At this point, players must pay heed to their companions’ advice about ensuring all tasks are completed before progressing further into The Garden, the point of no return in the game.
Engaging Side Quests and Companion Interactions
Completing the main storyline of Avowed is just one piece of the puzzle. Each of the game's four distinct regions is peppered with side quests and companion quests that allow players to gain valuable resources and experience. These quests are more than mere tasks; they are crafted to enrich the narrative depth and build interpersonal dynamics with the characters you encounter. Not only do they provide you with deeper insights into the world and its history, but they also unlock unique abilities and perks.
Treasure Maps and Bounties
For those keen on exploring every nook and cranny, bounties and treasure maps offer a rewarding diversion from the main quest line. These optional activities are perfect for players who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of discovery. Treasure maps often lead to coveted gear and artifacts, while bounties present combat challenges that sharpen skills and enhance your experience with the game.
Obsidian has meticulously crafted these elements to ensure that Avowed isn't just a game but a fully immersive experience. As you plan your journey through this enchanting world, keep in mind how each quest, whether main or side, contributes to the tapestry of your adventures. The Living Lands await those brave enough to conquer the Dreamscourge and lay claim to the stories they hold.
