Avowed’s Story is Missing Something – Here’s Why
12Avowed takes place in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, a series known for its deep lore and rich storytelling. But does Avowed stand on its own, or does it feel like a sequel that expects you to have done your homework?
In this video, I explore how Avowed handles its world-building and whether new players can truly enjoy the experience without playing Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2. The game does a decent job of introducing key terms and lore concepts, but at times, it can feel overwhelming—especially for those unfamiliar with the franchise’s deep history. If you’re wondering whether you should play Pillars of Eternity before jumping into Avowed, this is the video for you.
Have you played Avowed? Do you think the story works well as a standalone experience, or does it rely too much on its predecessors? Let me know in the comments!
