Originally planned as a Skyrim-like open-world game, set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowed eventually transitioned into being semi-open. By that, I mean lots of very large, open levels, all connected together. But that change aside, in many ways, Avowed does feel like a cross between Skyrim and PoE, and if you're a fan of both games, you'll almost certainly like this one too.
What you might not be so keen on is that developers Obsidian targeted a 30 fps performance window for the Xbox Series X/S version, and while that doesn't necessarily mean the team set out for the PC version to be the same, as you'll soon see, Avowed isn't pushing out ultra-high frame rates.
