Especially when theyre part of an existing series I dont have prior experience with or knowledge of.
My brain just cant grasp the intricacies of a brand new, intricately crafted world so easily.
Avowed feels like playing pretend on a big lifeless stage full of cardboard cutouts.
How Do Games Deal With The Problem Of Lore?
This has long been a problem RPG developers have had to solve.
You might start the game with a full codex, or unlock entries as you progress.
If Avowed hadnt been an Xbox Game Pass day one release, would it look any different?
Much better is the distribution of lore through in-world documents.
How Does Avowed Solve The Lore Problem?
Avowed uses a different system, one thats incredibly simple and easy to understand.
As you have conversations with NPCs, certain words will be highlighted.
This, naturally, makes the game feel far more seamless.
We even saw a very early version of this mechanic inMorrowind.
Its certainly better than a codex.
