Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, *Avowed*, is generating significant excitement among gamers. While *Avowed* stands out on its own, mods can enhance your gameplay, making your journey through the Living Lands even more enjoyable. Below, we've compiled a list of the top mods for *Avowed* that address various aspects of the game, from performance to gameplay mechanics.
One of the highlights of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to aid you in the treacherous Living Lands. However, their impact in combat can sometimes feel underwhelming, leaving you to handle most of the battles alone. The Better Companions mod solves this issue by enhancing your allies' combat effectiveness. While you'll still need to lead the charge, your companions will now be more reliable in dealing with foes, making your adventures smoother and more enjoyable.
The most sought-after mod on Nexus Mods for *Avowed* focuses on enhancing the game's performance. Even the most polished games can suffer from latency and stuttering issues, and *Avowed* is no exception. The community has stepped up with the Optimized Tweaks mod, which addresses these problems without compromising the game's visual quality. According to its description, it "improves performance and stuttering issues while maintaining visual quality. It boosts CPU and GPU efficiency, reduces latency, accelerates loading and boot times, and enhances streaming and memory management."
For players focused on crafting their ideal character build, earning Ability Points can be a slow process. The More Ability Points mod accelerates this journey by granting two additional Ability Points per level. This allows for significant early upgrades, freeing you from the constraints of limited points and enabling you to experiment with different builds more freely.
Lockpicks are essential in *Avowed* for accessing the locked chests scattered throughout the Living Lands, which often contain valuable gear. However, acquiring Lockpicks can be challenging. The More Lockpicks mod addresses this by increasing the availability of Lockpicks from traders. This ensures you're less likely to run out when you encounter a rare chest, though you'll still need to purchase them when the opportunity arises.
For newcomers to RPGs like *Avowed*, early struggles and frequent deaths are common. The game's lengthy death screen can add frustration to these setbacks. The Shorter Death Screen mod reduces the time spent on the death screen, allowing you to jump back into the action more quickly and enjoy a smoother gaming experience.
These are the top mods for *Avowed* that can significantly enhance your gameplay. All of these mods are available on Nexus Mods, ready to download and improve your adventure in the Living Lands.
*Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.*
