Urquhart realized this was the “wrong decision”, and Avowed became a single-player RPG. The final part of its 20th Anniversary documentary also revealed that the project was co-op focused early on.ĬEO Feargus Urquhart said he pushed for Avowed to be multiplayer and “kept on that for a long time.” It was when the studio was still independent, and he felt it was “a more interesting game to publishers.” However, due to being too focused on co-op, the team changed its pipelines, how it wrote conversations and more, not focusing on what it was good at. The developer was originally intent on making this their Skyrim before focusing on more “confined” stories. While the focus is on companions and systemic elements with no class restrictions, there have been several changes throughout development. Set in the same world as Pillars of Eternity, specifically the Living Lands, it sees the player as an envoy of the Aedyr Empire, investigating a mysterious plague.

Even though it hasn’t received much attention, Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed is one of Xbox’s major exclusives.
