At the touch of a button, combat is paused, and the player is free to map out their next move. GreedFall from developer Spiders is a great recent example of an action-RPG that used a tactical pause to great effect. PoE, like Baldur's Gate which inspired the series, contains a real-time pause element and this could be transferred to Avowed and prove to be useful. Managing in-depth systems such as party members could be difficult to manage in real-time, so another opportune feature for Obsidian is a tactical pause.
Developing a more direct way to instruct them in combat and potentially upgrading them could add more flavor to the characters but also make combat scenarios more diverse. TES 5: Skyrim used companions, but as there was minimal interaction required from the player, Avowed could look at having a more in-depth way of managing them. In the pirate-themed RPG, gamers can hire fully-fledged party members with their own personal stories, and sidekicks who are viable compatriots but don't have developed narratives. A possibly clever move for Obsidian Entertainment would be to look at Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire and how that game handled adventuring parties. The Pillars of Eternity titles are party-based RPG games, and this could be one of the biggest characteristics that Obsidian could bring to Avowed. It's not very often that action-RPG games make use of companions, and when they are featured, they can often be somewhat basic.

Ultimately, to avoid continued comparisons with Skyrim, there are some features that Obsidian could look at adapting from Pillars of Eternity to help the title stand out. This location hasn't been seen in the developer's games before, so Obisidian Entertainment has a blank slate to work with when crafting its world. It's set to take place in Eora, the same world as Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity games, and it will take players to The Living Lands. Little is known of Avowed outside of some key details.
For gamers who enjoy first-person action-RPG titles, this could fill the gap for some while The Elder Scrolls 6 continues to be developed, though Obsidian has a deep well to draw from to help it stand out from the Bethesda series. Obsidian has a history of creating well-received RPG titles including Fallout: New Vegas and its own IP Pillars of Eternity, so fan expectations are high. After its reveal trailer, it was quickly compared to Skyrim for its first-person perspective melee and magic action. Obsidian Entertainment is set to return to Pillars of Eternity's world of Eora with Avowed, a first-person action-RPG that's currently in development.
