Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, *Avowed*, is generating a lot of excitement among gamers. Even the most polished games can benefit from enhancements, and mods can elevate the gameplay experience significantly. Here are the top mods for *Avowed* that you should consider to make your journey through the Living Lands even more enjoyable.
Best Mods for Avowed
Better Companions
One of the key attractions of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to help you navigate the treacherous Living Lands. However, their impact in combat can sometimes feel underwhelming, leaving you to handle most of the fighting alone. The Better Companions mod addresses this issue by enhancing your allies' effectiveness in battle. While you'll still need to take the lead, your companions will no longer leave you to face the same number of enemies upon your return. This mod ensures they play a more significant role in your adventures.
Optimized Tweaks AVD – Reduced Stutter, Lower Latency, Better Frametimes, Improved Performance
The most popular mod on Nexus Mods for *Avowed* focuses on enhancing the game's performance. Even well-optimized games can suffer from latency issues, and *Avowed* is no exception. Players have reported stuttering problems, but the community has stepped up with a solution. The Optimized Tweaks mod addresses multiple performance issues while maintaining the game's visual quality. According to its description, it "provides a proper solution to improve 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."
More Ability Points
For players focused on customizing their gameplay experience, earning enough Ability Points to craft the perfect build can be a slow process. The More Ability Points mod offers a solution by granting two additional Ability Points per level. This allows for significant upgrades early on, freeing you from the burden of meticulously allocating a limited number of points and enabling you to explore more build options from the start.
More Lockpicks
Lockpicks are essential in *Avowed* for unlocking the many chests scattered throughout the Living Lands, which often contain valuable gear. However, obtaining Lockpicks can be challenging due to their scarcity. The More Lockpicks mod solves this problem by ensuring that traders have more Lockpicks available for purchase. This mod helps you maintain a steady supply, reducing the risk of running out when you encounter a rare chest. Remember, though, you'll still need to buy them when the opportunity arises.
Shorter Death Screen
Newcomers to RPGs like *Avowed* might find themselves dying frequently during the early stages of the game. The default death screen in *Avowed* can feel excessively long, adding to the frustration of making a mistake. The Shorter Death Screen mod reduces the duration of the death screen, allowing you to get back into the action more quickly and enjoy a smoother gaming experience without the prolonged downtime.
These are the best mods for *Avowed* that can significantly enhance your gameplay. All of these mods are available on Nexus Mods, ready to be downloaded and installed to improve your adventure in the Living Lands.
*Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.*
