Obsidian Entertainment previewed a new look at the story for Avowed, their latest action-adventure title that they have been working on. In the newest trailer, Obsidian shares a look at some of the story that players will experience in Avowed as well as an introduction to Giatta, "one of the four companions you'll encounter during your adventures."
You begin as an envoy in the city of Paradis, a port city at the heart of the Living Lands. This hub area happens to be "the epicenter of tension between Aedyran forces and the locals, who are suspicious of Aedyr's growing presence." This new trailer includes the emperor of Aedyr, who "believes the Dreamscourge could develop, if unchecked, into a dire threat to Aedyr." There is Inquisitor Lodwyn, the leader of an extremist paladin order from Aedyr called the Steel Garrote. Finally, there is Giatta, who "perceives a larger and more mysterious force at work in the land and urges you to embrace it in all of its awe and chaos."
Supporting you on your journey are four companions, including Giatta. A brilliant and outspoken animancer who studies soul energy, she has endured suspicion and ire for her work. But like you, she desperately seeks a solution to the Dreamscourge. She’s a vital ally who will help you understand the unique metaphysical ecosystem of the Living Lands.
But remember, the Dreamscourge is not the only thing you are up against. Tensions simmer between the locals and Aedyr, and the island itself seems to be rebelling against itself.
