Skyrim prioritizes freedom above all else, and the range and flexibility of its follower characters allows them to blend in no matter who the player wants to roleplay as, while in New Vegas characters like Boone are incompatible with roleplaying decisions like joining the Legion for story reasons. Without its focus on player freedom it’s unlikely that the game would have achieved the replay-value or longevity Skyrim has enjoyed, even as the game approaches its 10-year anniversary.

It seems to be a good testing ground for things like enemy AI, as Obsidian creates intelligent enemies in the game's wide range of bugs and other animals. Obsidian isn't generally known for survival games like Grounded, either, so the positive feedback it's received on the game bodes well for further Obsidian experiments. Grounded is teaching Obsidian a lot that it can potentially use. While current Grounded updates are focused on polishing the game, odds seem good that even when the game officially launches, Obsidian will have more large-scale updates and additions to offer its player b<br><br> <br>Having a smaller cast of well-developed companions also makes some other elements likely to appear in Avowed . It’s more likely that players will have a base where they can find all of their companions who aren’t currently following them, for example. In The Outer Worlds, this was the ship the Unreliable; in Pillars of Eternity, it was Caed Nua; in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire , it was the Defiant; and in New Vegas, it was the Lucky 38 Casino. While Skyrim ’s companions return to the location of their recruitment and rarely have opportunities to interact, it’s likely that Obsidian’s companion design will allow for followers to have relationships with one another in the story, not just the pla<br><br> <br>There's been much speculation that Obsidian hopes to use Avowed to target The Elder Scrolls ' top spot in the first-person fantasy RPG market.
