Avowed’s Background Choices: Freedom or Flaw?
Beyond customizing their characters’ looks, Avowed offers me the chance to select a distinctive backstory for my character as well. In Avowed, a character’s backstory dictates their origin, offers exclusive conversation options that can be utilized throughout the game, and grants starting weapons, along with a unique set of attributes. What sets Avowed’s approach to backstories apart from other popular RPGs is quite remarkable – it deeply impacts the narrative progression and character development over the course of the game, unlike many other games in this genre where backstory primarily serves as flavor text.
