The upcoming RPG Avowed is based on the Pillars of Eternity series, whose second game has a great inclusion that may be hard for Avowed to equal.
Avowed is likely going to be roughly the size of The Outer Worlds, and its skill trees may suffer if they aren't built according to the game's scale.
Avowed's smaller scale may not only be a boon, but it could give it a leg-up on the open-world titles it once sought to replicate.
"This is a growing issue with fantasy and sci-fi media as a whole. Dungeons and Dragons' Forgotten Realms setting, for example, is constantly adding more spells and playable ancestries, but many of the later addition not only lack development or conflict with established material, but threaten to become superfluous."

Avowed Game Director Carrie Patel said Obsidian had already been planning to improve combat. She also talked about character backgrounds.
Forbes had an insightful article on this game from the showcase. Warning signs are aplenty!
I’ll wait to see the reviews. I’m glad they’re acknowledging the feedback. Hopefully that leads to meaningful adjustments.
One is a top down arpg one is a first person game. They’re not comparable other than the fantasy setting.
lol what the heck kind of story is that…they aren’t even compatible unless you force them to be like you are.
