In many ways, companions in RPGs act as our guides. Through those we journey alongside, we learn more about the world around us, get closer to the cultures and beliefs of its people, and gain other perspectives on the events we go through. While they also provide other practical functions like supporting us in combat, or offering up their unique skills to overcome obstacles, I've always enjoyed how I feel more connected to the universe I'm in as I get to know my companions and bond with them. It's why, over the years, I've fallen in love with the likes of the Mass Effect Trilogy, Baldur's Gate 3, and most recently, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Now, Avowed is about to bring us into the fantasy setting of The Living Lands as an Envoy of Aedyr who's sent to look into a mysterious plague, but we happily won't have to go it alone as we search for answers.
This month, we're diving into the highly anticipated upcoming Obsidian game. To find our coverage, visit the Avowed Big Preview hub.
