New gameplay footage of Obsidian’s Avowed reveals one of the ways it will distinguish itself from Skyrim.
However, the reality of the situation is a little more complicated.
Those expectingAvowedtobeThe Elder Scrolls 6beforeThe Elder Scrolls 6should adjust their expectations now.
Even still, there are obvious similarities betweenAvowedandThe Elder Scrolls.

Of course, that game never allowed you to dual-wield magical wands asAvowedwill let you do.
