It wasn't long before I encountered a spider in Obsidian Entertainment's sleek new action RPG, Avowed. Where this encounter happens depends on your path: I was wandering around Dawnshore and admiring the scenery when I stumbled upon a deserted seaside cavern. Sitting innocently in the center was a glowing treasure chest, and I couldn't help but recall the classic opening scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark. "Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here," I thought to myself.
That's what scares me. Spider webs adorn the walls. There are suspiciously crimson stains around the chest. Bodies strung up in webs. It couldn't hint more of a trap if it had "this is a trap" daubed over the walls. In blood.
