Explore the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger. As an envoy of Aedyr, you are sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague with a secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save the island and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them apart? Avowed coming in 2024, Play Day One with Xbox Game Pass.
 
This is supposed to be Obsidian's answer to the Elder Scrolls right? Hopefully it'll be less buggy than Fallout: New Vegas. And I hope the writing's up to par for an Obsidian game.

Way more cartoonish than expected especially considering it takes place in the Pillers of Eternity setting.
I hope it's more exciting to play than PoE. That game bored me after awhile.

Maybe. Who knows, Avowed might turn out really good though I would still like a Pillars of Eternity 3.

It's in the PoE world? Eh, interest dropping.
Avowed has a universe and setting already established by two CRPGs along with a set scope of being around the Outer Worlds in size. Avowed might actually be pretty good.

Still, Dragon's Dogma II, Greedfall II, Dragon Quest XII will be taking priority assuming Avowed releases before them that is. 2024 still very much in the air.

I'm just not a fan of Obsidian these days. I absolutely hated the Outer Worlds and my opinion of PoE2 was lukewarm at best. Looking forward to DD2, GF2, and DQ12, tho.

I'm seeing a lot of people complain that the game looks too cartoonish and that the colors are too bright and the lighting isn't good as well as just the overall style and animation.

Personally, I think the game looks pretty good. Maybe it's not exactly up to modern day standards but I really like the Pillars of Eternity so I'm quite curious about the story as well as the lore.

Just thinking it didn't match the tone of the teaser, and its a bit of surprise after the gritness Pillars 1 and 2 through Pillars 2 certainly makes a case for one of the better art styles and settings in a CRPG.

Avowed looking like it does is not necessarily a bad thing. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker with its fine aged cell shading graphics has gotten a lot better of a reputation in the decades since its release then the outrage when it was first revealed as the successor to the definitely at times dark and brutal tone of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Hell what Link does to the final boss in Wind Waker is a outright mortal kombat fatality.

I loved New Vegas, but I wonder how many of those creatives are left at the studio because yeah Outer Worlds did not even approach the same league in both writing and world design.
