Obsidian's new first-person RPG Avowed channels Baldur's Gate 3 in one key way: "The core of RPGs that makes them special is missable content"

Obsidian Entertainment is continuing to expand the world of Pillars of Eternity with its upcoming RPG Avowed, this time from a first-person perspective, but despite the camera angle switch-up, the game is still channelling the best bits of another isometric hit: Baldur's Gate 3. 

Speaking to GamesRadar+ for our Big Preview of Avowed, environment region director Berto Ritger said he thinks the "core of RPGs that makes them special is missable content, to be honest, and it makes the experience feel so much more personal to how you play the game." Water-cooler conversations about the secret questlines in Baldur's Gate 3 or the Breath of the Wild island that turns the game into a survival test are some of the coolest parts of those games, so I'm glad that Avowed is leaning into the same joys.
