Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG, Avowed, features a robust character background system that significantly impacts gameplay and story. Players choose from various backgrounds, influencing how NPCs react to them and shaping their journey.

Avowed , the upcoming action RPG from Obsidian Entertainment , is taking character customization to new heights with a robust background system that promises to deeply impact the gameplay and story. Players will choose from a variety of backgrounds, each offering distinct starting weapons and influencing how NPCs react to their actions and dialogue. Choices like Arcane Scholar, Noble Scion, or War Hero won't just be cosmetic; they'll shape the player's journey from the very beginning.

This system goes beyond simple stat boosts. Backgrounds will determine how characters are perceived by others, opening up unique dialogue options and influencing quest outcomes. A War Hero might inspire fear and respect, while an Arcane Scholar might be met with skepticism and distrust. The developers have emphasized that these choices are meant to be impactful and long-lasting, shaping the player's experience throughout the game.While the initial background choice dictates the starting weapon, players will ultimately have access to all weapons and skills as they progress. Avowed also boasts a comprehensive visual character customization system, allowing players to fine-tune their character's appearance with options for facial features, hairstyles, scars, markings, and even organic growths. The combination of these systems creates a truly immersive and personalized character creation experience. This depth of customization is reminiscent of Obsidian's previous works, Pillars of Eternity and Baldur's Gate 3, and bodes well for Avowed's promise of player freedom and choice
