While Avowed's Living Lands feel vast, the main quest is surprisingly concise. Post-game activities are limited, lacking a New Game Plus mode at launch. This means no replaying the main quest on higher difficulties with acquired skills and gear, a feature many RPG fans crave. While a future update or DLC might introduce New Game Plus, it's currently absent.
Despite this, replayability exists. Avowed features impactful choices affecting story and gameplay, encouraging multiple playthroughs to explore different endings and character builds.
Endgame content is also minimal. The game culminates in a final area and a return to a key city (details withheld to avoid spoilers). Legendary-quality weapons and gear are crucial here, but this enhanced power doesn't carry over to previously explored regions. Post-completion, the Living Lands remain static, unaffected by player choices.
Post-Game Activities:
The post-game experience is underwhelming due to the lack of New Game Plus and endgame content. Completion triggers several minutes of cinematic cutscenes illustrating the consequences of player decisions. Afterwards, players return to the main menu.
From the main menu, players can start a new game or reload a previous save. Autosaves exist before the point of no return and the final encounter, allowing replay of these sections with altered choices for varied story outcomes. Reloading to a point before the point of no return enables revisiting previous regions. Enemies in these areas won't scale to the player's level, making exploration with high-level gear significantly easier. This allows for map completion, achievement hunting, side quest completion, and collecting missed items.
In summary, Avowed's post-game is primarily focused on revisiting past content with overpowered equipment and exploring alternate narrative branches through save reloads.
Avowed is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
