'So now that you have all this power, what are you going to do with it?' That question is what lingers as the trailer draws to a close, and with on-screen text reading 'forge your destiny' interspersed between clips, we could even be looking at Avowed having choice-based branching pathways.
It seems our playable character's magical combat capabilities are wholly uncommon here in the Living Lands, able to use a combination of regular hand-to-hand melee weapons and guns alongside spells to eliminate foes. You'll have to prove your intentions if you want to get them on your side. However, being such a powerful mage, the locals fear and distrust you on impulse. From the most recent trailer shown at this year's Xbox Games Showcase, we learn that our playable character is a powerful magic-wielder, sent to the Living Lands by an emperor to investigate a devastating plague that is 'corrupting' the people of the Living Lands. Avowed is set in a part of Eora called the Living Lands, the same universe as Pillars of Eternity.
