At the heart of any Obsidian Entertainment game, and now Avowed, is player choice. Since it began its work with the development of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Obsidian has proven itself to be one with an affinity for player agency, allowing the players themselves to have some degree of control over their character's personality and morality, as well as the game's narrative. Avowed keeps that tradition alive by maintaining its developer's respect for player choice, to the point that not even the game's companions are going to stop players from going their own way.
