Obsidian s Avowed Will Likely Have Playable Races Here s What They Could Be

Obsidian Entertainment is one of the most influential RPG developers in recent memory and sparked excitement when it released the reveal trailer for Avowed earlier this week. The studio was originally formed by the Black Isle Studios developers who had worked on some of the genre’s most foundational games, including Fallout 2 and Baldur’s Gate , the latter in collaboration with BioWare. It is Obsidian’s relationship with Bethesda, however, that is perhaps one of the most interesting in the gaming indus


However, it has been confirmed that Avowed is not a brand new setting, Rsstop10.com starting from scratch. It's actually taking place in Eora, the setting of the Pillars of Eternity , but in an entirely new way. Eora may not have the name recognition of Tamriel, but it does mean Obsidian is building on a fantasy world that is already established. It could still go in any number of ways, but Humans, Aumaua, Dwarves, Elves, Orlans, and Godlikes are races that will likely populate the world (and be playable?). The Old Empires seem prominent given Avowed 's trailer , but there's plenty more countries to explore as well. Basically, The Elder Scrolls 6 has a more well-known location, but both settings are pretty similar in terms of world-build


There are two subraces of Aumaua, determined by where they choose to live. They are either considered Coastal or Island, but regardless have a diverse array of blue, yellow, brown, and more skin patterns, elongated heads, towering sizes, longer-than-human life-spans, and webbed hands and feet. They have reportedly been exploring coasts around the world, over 20,000 years, and so it makes sense for Aumaua to appear in Avow


Interestingly enough, again due to the height requirement, it'll be interesting to see if this race is playable in Avowed . Height restrictions can severely mess with gameplay and being uninvolved with the game is certainly a possibility based on location, but their unique qualities would also make them stand out in the fantasy RPG re


Not only were Bethesda’s last two games a disappointment to many, but one of its most anticipated releases, The Elder Scrolls 6 , hasn’t been seen since a teaser trailer was released on June 10, 2018. Fans don’t even know which part of Tamriel it’s planned to be set in, and it seems like the release of the game could be a long way away. It's no secret that The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced early due to the expected divisiveness of Fallout


Like all daedric princes, Mehrunes Dagon rules over a plane of Oblivion. Dagon's plane is the Deadlands, a hell-like realm of crumbling towers and pools of lava that the player character raids in Oblivion . Mehrunes Dagon believes that Nirn, the physical realm in The Elder Scrolls , is another plane of Oblivion that’s rightfully his, and he longs to conquer it, and has attempted many times in the p


Once again, some of the races that occupy Eora are pretty standard: namely, elves, humans, and dwarves. However, some of Eora's races are much more distinct: first, there are the amaua, the largest of the kith (a collective term for the humanoid races of Eora) known for their strength and affinity for water. There are orlans, which function a little bit like gnomes or halflings, but have their own history of enduring prejudice and poor treatment at the hands of other kith; nonetheless, they are quick and sharp-minded as a r


There could be any number of changes to the way Avowed works from the way that Pillars worked; given that the game is set in the Living Lands, that already means that different factions and political issues could be a source of strife for the game. Furthermore, there could be a limit on playable races (though hopefully that won't be the case), changes to the playable classes, and changes to the rules of the game - how magic works, what powers players have access to, and m


Elves are the dominant race in Eir Glanfath and The White that Wends and are extremely common in the Dyrwood and Aedyr. Elves are known for their speed and intelligence as well as a commonly isolationist nat


Obsidian Entertainment may have shocked its biggest fans when it had not one, not two, but three projects at the Xbox Series X showcase. Proving it is a powerhouse for Microsoft, Obsidian revealed upcoming DLC for the Outer Worlds , a new launch trailer for Grounded , and its next big Obsidian RPG, Avowed . However, one look at Avowed practically echoes The Elder Scrolls , and given Obsidian and Bethesda's history, this is not surpris


A player can sink hundreds of hours into Fallout 4 compared to The Outer Worlds , which, when comparing their reception, suggests many fans now prefer depth over breadth in their RPGs, considered to be one of Obsidian’s greatest strengths compared to Bethesda. Fallout 76 cemented what many considered to be Bethesda’s poor instincts, with the multiplayer game receiving poor reviews and facing a slew of technical issues. As Bethesda flounders, it appears that Obsidian has taken the opportunity to fill in the gaps in the mar
