And so, in iteration and refinement, you say, ‘Well, how do we create the experience that we want to deliver to players, particularly as a studio? How do we deliver on what we’re really good at specifically?’ “Sometimes you realize the way you’re building is not quite living up to the experience you want to create. Neither Urquhart nor director Carrie Patel confirmed if that officially happened, but the latter said, “Every game development process for every title is this chain of ideation, iteration and polish. This change reportedly led to reboots and leadership changes. And, as I said, in the end, that’s us,” said Urquhart. But we want to tell more confined stories that the player can experience with their companions, and then move from part of the world to part of the world. “We could go off and create an 8km x 8km open world and then deal with all the consequences – because that makes it a different style game. One of those companions is Kai, who also narrated the recent trailer and plays a “major” role. Instead of scope, Avowed is now about your companions and their impact on the core story. And 2 was even less linear, but still, again, you have this core story as you’re going.”
Pillars is less linear than Outer Worlds, but it’s still a game that has you go through a story. “ Outer Worlds is the greatest, latest example of that, and even Pillars. The answer, for Urquhart, is story-telling. What we do is make our awesome RPGs, right? That’s when we backed up and said again: What are we good at? What’s our lane?” Mojang makes an awesome Minecraft, and Turn10 makes awesome racing games. I think over time, as we worked on it… Bethesda makes an awesome Skyrim.
Speaking to PC Gamer, CEO Feargus Urquhart said, “Originally we were pitching, in essence, our Skyrim.
That’s because Obsidian decided to go with a different approach. While it looked intriguing, the scale wasn’t “much larger than Skyrim,” as previous reports indicated. Announced in 2020 and set in the world of Pillars of Eternity, the recent look showcased combat and the various environments players would traverse. Among the many titles that received updates at the Xbox Games Showcase was Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment’s first-person fantasy RPG.
