Avowed is Obsidian's next RPG—and the cause of a lot of recent 'please be good' whispers from yours truly. My fingers are crossed hard that a team responsible for genuine bangers like Pillars of Eternity pull it off, but the whole thing's a big hard veer into first-person action RPG territory, and I'm not entirely sold on just yet.
Granted, Obsidian's also responsible for Fallout: New Vegas, but the nuts and bolts had already been put in place by Bethesda. This is their first homegrown effort that's not an isometric CRPG, and there's a lot that could go very, very wrong.
