In the immersive realm of Avowed, I’ve stumbled upon a plethora of adventures that unfold the depths of this captivating world and present me with a host of intriguing characters. The “A Lady Never Tells” quest in Avowed is no exception, brimming as it is with such fascinating individuals.
The game, Avowed, showcases three primary skill sets or “skill trees,” each having its unique Active and Passive Abilities that loosely align with a traditional RPG gameplay style. The Fighter specializes in close-quarters combat, the Ranger excels in finesse, long-range attacks, and survival skills, while the Wizard functions as a high-damage, but fragile magic user. To employ Active abilities and certain Passive Abilities, you’ll require Essence, which recharges after use but may deplete quickly. To maintain the continuous use of these abilities during combat, you can make use of Essence potions or food items that restore Essence.
It eventually became clear to me that it’s beneficial to slow down and take some time off occasionally. Going back to camp offers a chance for free healing, equipment upgrades, enchantments, food preparation, and friendly conversations with your companions. However, an aspect often overlooked is that it can also provide new insights into the lore and even initiate new quests.

I wasn’t anticipating the game to trigger my instinctive combat reflexes. When I play Skyrim, which I’ve always stuck to its original version, it reminds me of spinning around enemies while gently striking them with a sword until they activate a killcam. Even though RPGs usually have a layer of abstraction in their combat, the numerous battles in this game felt monotonous and like tedious chores. However, Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment’s return to a first-person full RPG mode, offers a more compact and focused experience (around 30 hours) and is much more engaging than Skyrim.
In a battle, an Avowed ally can prove incredibly useful, and it’s worth noting that most of their advantages involve some form of “magic”. For instance, Kai, being a Fighter-type character, exhibits fire magic. Marius’s survival skills imply a certain level of nature magic. Giatta, on the other hand, is abundant in supportive magic. However, Yatzli, as James Agay, the lead area designer for Game Rant Advance, explains to us, has been weaving spells throughout her life, which significantly impacts her combat abilities. In essence, she’s chosen a path that takes her deep into the realm of magic.
