Stepping onto the docks of Dawnshore I was instantly met with scorn and disgust by its citizens, with an alien world awaiting me just outside its palisades. Welcome back, Morrowind.
Playing roughly four hours of Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed, I couldn’t shake the way the game continuously reminded me of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind — a downright bizarre world to explore, filled with fascinating sights, weirdo characters, and yes a little bit of jank. Between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, fantasy RPGs feel like they're in the middle of a renaissance, and I’m pretty sure Avowed is the next step of that.
