Between Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds , Obsidian has gained a lot of trust from Bethesda fans for delivering a similar format with a more engaging story and a slightly sharper wit, as well rarely appearing to rest on its laurels in the same way as Bethesda, which has avoided new IPs and released increasingly disappointing games over the last nine ye<br><br> <br>The single trailer released for Avowed already shows fans more than The Elder Scrolls 6 has shown them in the last two years. The trailer works not only to get players excited and to take advantage of Bethesda’s slow development speed, but makes Bethesda appear particularly unreliable in comparison to Obsidian. Cyberpunk 2077 is another first-person RPG that has had a particularly long development cycle, and yet unlike Bethesda, CD Projekt Red does not have a relationship with another developer like Obsidian that fans can so easily draw unfavorable comparisons w<br> <br>The mighty Aumaua are the largest of the Kith races and are commonly found in or near oceans.

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<br><br> <br>Whereas the Elder Scrolls relegates Dwemer (dwarves) to an underground race that mysteriously disappeared, Eora sees Dwarves as vivid explorers.

It is known for RPGs, this is its forte, and now it has the backing to live up to its full potential. Obsidian is the hungry upstart and the underdog, and Bethesda is the big name fallen on hard times. The launch of Fallout 76 soured much of the fanbase and especially those who invested in the game, Rage 2 failed to make an impression, and even Doom Eternal —the best game its launched in recent memory—wasn't without the controversy of its anti-cheat softw<br><br> <br>One big question that should be addressed is simple: which will be played first? One common determiner when it comes to a fan-favorite video game, especially those that are similar, is which was played first. Many who played Fallout 3 first will argue that it's better than Fallout New Vegas , while many who played the latter first will argue that it's better than Fallout 3 . There's a lot of psychology behind that, and it's not a blanket statement—it's not true of everyone. But when it comes to Avowed and The Elder Scrolls 6 , there may be a lasting impression if one of them manages to get out there and truly impress fi<br><br> <br>Avowed companions has more than enough space to be its own game and established new lore, because there's so much of Eora that even those who played the Pillars games haven't seen yet.
