Obsidian's Avowed, now available in early access, has players exploring the Living Lands, encountering magical items, perilous situations, and surprisingly, romantic possibilities.
Prior to release, Obsidian stated Avowed wouldn't include a dedicated romance system, prioritizing "thoughtful relationships" with companions instead. Avowed game director Carrie Patel, in an IGN interview, explained: "We are building thoughtful relationships with our companion characters," she stated. "While I personally favor offering romance as an option, it requires significant commitment to ensure it's authentic to the character and engaging for the player. Therefore, it's not a feature in Avowed, but I wouldn't rule it out for future titles."
However, early access players and reviewers have discovered at least one companion, Kai, exhibiting romantic interest in the player character. Significant spoilers for interactions with Kai follow. Proceed with caution.
