Obsidian Entertainment just rolled out another update for Avowed, their latest role-playing game, bringing a slew of bug fixes and enhancements. Among the tweaks, patch 1.3.0 introduces an FOV slider for third-person mode, allowing you to fine-tune your viewing angle, along with addressing various quest-related issues.
Looking to the future, Obsidian promises to reveal a roadmap in the coming weeks, outlining plans for the game heading into 2025.
Here’s a look at the patch details. Be aware of some light spoilers ahead:
Players can now earn an additional talent point at several levels, and those with existing save files will receive the extra points retroactively. New accessibility options include high contrast documents with increased font sizes and bold text. Mouse and keyboard users can enjoy a walking toggle, and HUD customization has been expanded with new key bindings and opacity sliders. Players can also lock the compass to always face North.
The update also offers full controller keybinding customization. In terms of stability, a rare crash during music transitions is fixed, and the Xbox app on PC no longer crashes with error code 0xc0000005. Various other crash issues, from fast traveling to problems on specific laptops, have also been addressed.
For quest and dialogue refinements, numerous bugs have been squashed. These include ensuring quest progression triggers accurately and NPC interactions occur as intended. Systems and gameplay have also seen upgrades, like improved arrow decals, stable spellcasting, and balanced enemy behavior.
Controls have been improved with customizable mouse buttons, performance optimizations, and better collision detection. Several UI fixes enhance the overall navigation and interaction, while the roadmap promises a peek at upcoming features and potential game expansions.
As we wait to see what Obsidian has in store, remember to keep a save file from before reaching Avowed’s endgame just in case new content becomes available.
For those eager to dive into Avowed, it’s available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC, and it’s part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Stay tuned for more updates and happy gaming!
