By all reports, Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed<\/em> <\/strong>is set primarily in the Living Lands in the studio\u2019s world of Eora. What little information about the Living Lands can be gleamed from Pillars of Eternity<\/em> and comments made by the developers indicates that the game\u2019s setting will be on the frontier of Kith civilization, with the Living Lands inhabited by diverse, loosely formed communities and composed of a great diversity of biomes.<\/p>\n

Even though Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> is not an RPG, Obsidian could learn a lot about creating a diverse and compellingly threatening frontier from the game. There are many parts of Red Dead 2<\/em>\u2019s design philosophy which should be considered when putting together the Living Lands for Avowed<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em>\u2019s map size<\/a> is around 29 square miles. For comparison, Skyrim<\/em>\u2019s map covers around 14.3 square miles. Avowed<\/em> is rumored to have a map far larger than Skyrim<\/em>\u2019s which could make it important to look at some of the ways Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> handled a world on such a large scale.<\/p>\n

Though Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> has many mysteries<\/a> and a huge amount of encounters and interesting characters to be found all across its map, there is one key mechanic it also uses to make the world feel dynamic and exciting in the gameplay that remains in play even when the player has completed all of the quests in the world. The game\u2019s bounty system tracks the player and their crimes, and not only will lawmen pursue the player, but even after they have escaped different lawmen will wait for them on the highway to take up the pursuit again if the player is ever found.<\/p>\n

Avowed<\/em> isn\u2019t a western, but the Living Lands<\/a> are described as a \u201clawless land where communities band together, fall apart, and fight petty wars with each other constantly.\u201d By implementing a dynamic faction system where different groups recognize the player for their actions and will even hunt them down or aid them in the wilderness depending on their reputation could go a long way towards making the Living Lands feel lived in, as well as taking advantage of their ever-shifting political situation in the lore.<\/p>\n

Not only\u00a0did\u00a0Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em>\u2019s map have\u00a0a great diversity of biomes, but Rockstar also made sure that the diversity of its environment was reflected in the flavor quests and random events. Even the most extreme, silly, and sometimes supernatural\u00a0encounters in Red Dead 2<\/em><\/a> are flavored by the location.<\/p>\n

In the New Orleans inspired Saint Denis<\/a>, for example, the player can come across a feeding vampire in streets that resemble the creepy Old World architecture of the real city and its many presentations as such in media. The player can come across a UFO\u00a0when visiting a shack in a region more closely resembling the isolated mountains of Montana or Colorado to the west where far more of those stories take place.<\/p>\n

Although the communities of the Living Lands are ever-shifting, Avowed<\/em> should look at how Red Dead 2<\/em> gives the different areas of its world distinct cultures and influences. Avowed<\/em> should make sure that the different settlers of the area have brought very different architectural styles, for example, and should play with how these styles have adapted differently to the frontier. It is likely the Kith brought their worship of the gods of Eora<\/a> with them to the Living Lands, and seeing how their culture and religion is warped by frontier living could be interesting.<\/p>\n

The dwarves have a strong colonial presence in the Living Lands, and it would be interesting to see how their customs and architecture adapts differently in the swamps and jungles of the Living Lands as opposed to the region\u2019s icy mountains or grasslands. If Avowed<\/em> can create a frontier that feels as dangerous and diverse as Red Dead<\/em>\u2019s,\u00a0Avowed<\/em>‘s setting of Eora<\/a> could have a unique flavor\u00a0that helps distinguish the fantasy RPG from its next-generation rivals.<\/p>\n

Avowed<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is in development for PC and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n
