Presented with these two options, engaging in combat is by far the more fun.Īs a result, no matter what sort of character the player intends to roleplay as, most of their time spent outside of cities in Skyrim and The Outer Worlds is spent slaughtering almost everyone they encounter. When the player character of The Outer Worlds first lands near Edgewater at the start of the game, their options when interacting with the first people they meet are to sneak past them or mow them down. The Outer Worlds demonstrated how a lack of options outside of combat can be limiting to roleplay.
If Avowed wants to feel truly next-gen, combat shouldn’t be the only way to navigate life outside of towns and cities.

In Skyrim, bandits will attack a player decked out in full Daedric armor and carrying an unholy relic as a weapon with the same reckless abandon as they would a straggler on the road. Similarly, just as in many RPG conversations, interactions with hostile NPCs should factor in things like intimidation, charm, and performance. For example, if the player approaches a bandit camp at night with a group of followers and their weapons drawn, the bandits should have a very different response than if the player approaches them alone during the day while unarmed, even if both responses are bad news. Coming across a group of bandits on the road should not initiate combat unless it makes sense for it to do so.
The game should make its scattered enemies as reactive as it does its more developed NPCs. For the game to succeed, the world of Avowed needs to be reactive.
