Obsidian's Avowed, now available in early access, has players exploring the Living Lands, encountering magic, peril, and surprisingly, romantic possibilities. While Obsidian previously stated Avowed wouldn't feature a dedicated romance system, prioritizing "thoughtful relationships" with companions instead, early access gameplay reveals a different story.
Avowed Game Director Carrie Patel, in an IGN interview, explained their decision: "We are building thoughtful relationships with our companion characters," she stated. "Ultimately, I personally am a fan of making that an option, but I feel like if you're going to do it, you really, really have to commit and make sure that you're giving all to fulfilling that in a way that feels both true to the character, but also creates an engaging player experience. So not something we're doing for Avowed, but I wouldn't say never."
However, early players and reviewers report at least one companion, Kai, displays romantic interest in the player character. Significant spoilers for interactions with Kai follow. Proceed with caution.
Spoiler Warning! Details about Kai's interactions with the player character are below.
