While Avowed has had a mostly positive reception, one of the criticisms of the game was the simple fact that character builds are quite restricted by the game's skill point cap. Obsidian is making up for that with its latest patch.
A new update is now available for Avowed, which will now award players with an extra talent point every five levels, for a total of six additional talent points. That means players will be able to add a whole new maximum-rank ability to their arsenal or sprinkle out upgrades to a number of abilities and attributes.
Here is the full list of community-requested features implemented with the latest patch:
- The player will now receive an additional talent point at levels 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Players with save files past those levels will receive the additional points.
- High Contrast Documents: New option increases font size and applies bold styling to all documents, tutorials, in-game pop-ups, and the ledger's quest tab.
- Walk Toggle: Players using mouse and keyboard can now toggle between walking and running.
- HUD Customization:
- HUD Toggle Keybind: A new keybind (default: Backslash) hides all HUD elements for cleaner screenshots.
- HUD Opacity Slider: Adjust the transparency of the HUD to your preference.
- Camera & Compass Options:
- Third-Person FOV Slider: Added to Graphics Settings.
- Static Compass Option: Players can now lock the compass to always point North instead of rotating.
- Controller & Input Improvements:
- Full support for customizing controller keybinds.
Obsidian has also spent time improving the game's stability and fixing rare crash issues, as well as lingering quest bugs. You can read the full patch notes, HERE.
