Avowed is gradually revealing its gameplay features, showcasing a vibrant fantasy setting and dual-wield combat that set it apart in the open-world action-RPG genre. While drawing comparisons to Skyrim, Avowed retains connections to the Pillars of Eternity IP, hinting at its potential to outshine its contemporaries.

With a focus on player choice and narrative consequences, Avowed is positioned to challenge Hogwarts Legacy in delivering a compelling and impactful storytelling experience.

Avowed’s Player Choice Makes Hogwarts Legacy Seem Narratively Weightless

Hogwarts Legacy Gave Players Few Meaningful Choices in Dialogue

Hogwarts Legacy afforded players freedom in decision-making, from choosing their Hogwarts house to learning Unforgivable Curses. However, the lack of consequences rendered dialogue choices inconsequential, impacting the narrative weight of the game.

Decisions in Hogwarts Legacy lack lasting impact, with choices like learning curses having no significant narrative effect. The game's final quest allows for different endings, but prior decisions hold little sway over these outcomes.

While not diminishing Hogwarts Legacy's story, the game's reluctance to fully embrace choice-based features leaves room for exploration, a space that Avowed seems poised to occupy.

Avowed Seems to Rely Wholly on Player Choice and Dialogue

Known for intricate player choice and branching dialogue, Obsidian's The Outer Worlds exemplifies the studio's expertise in RPG storytelling. Avowed emphasizes the impact of dialogue and player decisions, presenting a compelling narrative framework that sets it apart from Hogwarts Legacy.

As Avowed positions itself as a frontrunner in embracing RPG elements, it prompts speculation on how future iterations of Hogwarts Legacy could draw inspiration from this approach, enriching the series with deeper narrative consequences and player agency.
