multiple endings

While it was a letdown to hear that Avowed has been delayed until February 18, 2025, there's still plenty to be excited about. Obsidian Entertainment's director, Carrie Patel, recently revealed intriguing details about the game’s storyline, specifically the numerous endings that await players. Multiple Endings Revealed: Double-Digit Possibilities In an interview with IGN during Gamescom, Patel confirmed that Avowed will not just have a single ending. When asked how many endings the game features, Patel hinted at the complexity and variety of the outcomes: "That’s very hard to say. I can tell you that our ending slides number in the double digits, and you can end up with a lot of different combinations of them." These "ending slides" refer to post-game images that provide players with insight into the world after they’ve completed the game. With double-digit endings, Avowed promises a vast array of unique conclusions, ensuring no shortage of variety for players. Player Choices Impact the World: Encouraging Replayability Patel emphasized that the game's conclusion is heavily influenced by the player’s choices throughout their journey: "This is an Obsidian game, so your ending is really the sum total of your choices across the game, across a lot of pieces of content, depending on what you encountered and what you did when you found it." This approach not only ensures that each player's experience will be distinct, but it also promotes replayability, as players will be eager to see how different decisions impact the game’s world. With so much freedom in how players progress, Avowed offers a compelling reason to explore multiple paths. No Canon Ending: Personalizing Your Experience Given the numerous possible endings, some might wonder if there’s a “true” or “canon” ending. However, Patel clarified that there isn’t one: "In my opinion, there’s never a canon ending. It's your experience." This statement is refreshing for players, as it encourages them to make choices that resonate with them personally, rather than trying to achieve a predetermined “true” ending. The game is designed to be a personal journey, where each player’s decisions create a unique narrative. Final Thoughts Though the delay until 2025 might be disappointing, the details revealed by Obsidian suggest that Avowed could be a standout RPG with its deep narrative complexity and emphasis on player choice. With multiple endings and a focus on personal experience, Avowed is shaping up to be a game that players will want to revisit time and time again. Also Read:
