Avowed was a surprising turn for Obsidian Entertainment. After two isometric RPGs in the Pillars of Eternity series, the developer turned to a first-person style inspired by The Elder Scrolls for a spinoff set in the world of Eora. Maybe even more surprisingly, Avowed carved out a distinct identity that offered some smart improvements on The Elder Scrolls’ formula. But Avowed isn’t technically a sequel to the Pillars games, and for that, the studio may be looking to switch up its style once again.
“I think that a third game should be an isometric 3D with an environment more like Baldur’s Gate 3; it would work,” studio design director Josh Sawyer recently told Gamepressure. “And I think that could be really awesome. It would be easier for us to make the art and be a lot more dynamic. I've said this before, so hopefully nobody will get mad.”
