The Wild West of Eora
The world of Avowed presents itself as an exciting new frontier within the realm of Eora. With its blend of rich history, mystery, and the magic that permeates every inch of its diverse landscapes, it feels reminiscent of the ‘Wild West’—a place bustling with adventurers, mercenaries, and thieves all eager to stake their claims.
A Unique Cultural Landscape
Avowed showcases an early-modern period aesthetic, striking a balance between the medieval and the sophisticated. Players will discover societies that utilize innovations like gunpowder and blast furnaces, reflecting a world reminiscent of our own history. This mix of cultural richness and the distinctive survival strategies developed by each faction invites players to immerse themselves in a landscape ripe for exploration.
Divine Influences and Player Experience
The design decisions behind the game are intentional, crafted to evoke a sense of a new frontier. As highlighted by game director Carrie Patel, the flow of souls and the enigmatic presence of gods form the core of life in Eora. Players who have experienced Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will find familiarity here, both in the gods that surface and the prevailing lore. Additionally, cultures like the Aedyrans emphasize rightful leadership and order, making it intriguing to see how their rigid values adapt amidst the free-spirited living lands. As players navigate these tensions, they’ll witness the evolution of characters and cultures in this ever-shifting landscape of survival.
