    Avowed Hands-On Preview: Like Skyrim with Good Combat

    At Gamescom we got to play an hour of Obsidian's fantasy RPG, and it's clearer than it ever was just how much focus has been placed on combat.

    "It's like Skyrim with guns." The infamous quote from the now-disgraced internet personality still seems to haunt a lot of gaming discourse. And so, to satisfy my ego and push the conversation away from a very strange bloke, I offer a new Skyrim-based comparative for Avowed. "It's like Skyrim with good combat." See? We even got all the way to "It's like Skyrim with g-"

    While it might seem derivative of all that Avowed offers, that was the strongest feeling I had while playing through an hour of Obsidian's upcoming fantasy RPG. The gameplay demo centred on one dungeon, and a single quest within it. There are a few environmental puzzles, plenty of enemies to fight, and a mini-story that you can wrap up in one of a few ways. A classic Skyrim-like experience, complete with your companion crouching as soon as you get into stealth and delivering witty remarks whenever you round an important corner.
