GamesRadar+ just spoke to Avowed director director Carrie Patel and gameplay director Gabe Paramo, as part of our huge Avowed preview looking ahead at the CRPG. Thankfully, both senior developers have stood firm in the belief that you don't need to have played games like Pillars of Eternity to enjoy Obsidian's forthcoming game.
"You really don't need to know anything about the previous Pillars games, and you certainly don't need to have played them to enjoy Avowed," says Patel. "For players who have, they're certainly some familiar concepts, bits of world-building, and even a few returning characters that they might recognize, but we wanted to make sure that players coming to it for the first time will have a good time."
