RPG AVOWED MODS

The game has excellent atmosphere that reinforces its survival mechanics, the lightly stylized tools and characters somehow feel at home under the towering blades of grass. This can be attributed to its realistic visuals and involved mechanics. Despite the fantastical nature of Grounded, the game manages to feel borderline horror at times-that is, if bus-sized bugs get under a player's skin. It might seem strange to compare Grounded to Skyrim, but the basic elements of Obsidian's survival game serve a great foundation for the kind of first-person fantasy RPG that Avowed needs to be to stand out.

Following Bethesda's difficult Fallout 76 launch, perhaps underdog Obsidian can take advantage of its recent successful releases and the many lessons it learned along the way to craft Avowed into a truly solid contender for Skyrim. While bugs have become synonymous with Bethesda, players seem to have lost a lot of patience for the increasing quirkiness of its most recent titles. If The Outer Worlds invoked memories of Fallout: New Vegas' open-ended gameplay and thoughtful dialogue, Grounded proved the studio can craft an intricate world that is realistic, immersive, and largely hard to break. Grounded, a unique survival game set in an oversized backyard, features a beautifully stylized environment and dangerously competent enemy AI. Interestingly, it wasn't The Outer Worlds that exemplified Obsidian's potential to soar past Skyrim. With Avowed on the horizon, Obsidian's recent survival game serves an excellent showcase of the studio's capabilities. Another Obsidian Fallout is unlikely for a variety of reasons, but fans can look forward to original Obsidian titles of the same caliber. While the game featured dark humor, corporate greed, and companions galore which players would expect of a Fallout or Bethesda-style RPG, it would prove to be only the beginning of Obsidian's return to the first-person RPG sandbox. Obsidian comprises several key heads behind the first Fallout games, and The Outer Worlds' trailer mentions as much.

Back when Obsidian announced its space-faring first-person RPG The Outer Worlds, fans were quick to draw comparisons to Fallout.
