Avowed's Kai, who shares a voice actor with Mass Effect's Garrus, has me hooked on the RPG after only 3 hours

Kai, a coastal aonuma companion in Avowed talks to the player outside Paradis city with some steps behind him.

Is it about the journey, the destination… or maybe who it is you're traveling with? No matter the answer, my King-given quest to find a solution to the plague-like Dreamscourge ravaging the world is a journey off to a rocky start. Quite literally. Our ship coming under fire, we're bashed against the spiky stuff, spluttering and coughing as I wash ashore looking at the nearby fort looking for answers. This tutorial island is a fine way to get to grips with the unique feel of Avowed. Our allies, Garryck and Hore, are also fine. They explain everything well enough. But they feel like a tutorial, not really drawing me in.

But journeys are more than just the beginning, and Avowed promises to be an epic one. Sailing away from the island we finally land at Dawnshore, a harbor just a stone's throw away from the bustling city of Paradis, and our gateway to The Living Lands. And who do we stumble upon at the docks but Kai? He cuts quite the figure.
