Locusts are fascinating insects that can dramatically change their color, body shape, and behavior based on population density. When isolated, they are typically green or brown and lead solitary lives. However, when their population increases and resources become scarce, they undergo a remarkable transformation known as the gregarious phase. In this phase, they become more social, develop bright colors (often black and yellow), and swarm in huge numbers, causing widespread destruction to crops and vegetation as they search for food. This ability to switch behaviors is due to chemical signals in their nervous system triggered by increased touch from other locusts.
Avowed: by Obsidian Entertainment (Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds),
Strengths:
-Deep storytelling: Obsidian’s signature branching narratives and morally gray quests.
- Flexible combat: Mix spells, melee, and ranged attacks with customizable loadouts.
- Art direction: Striking, colorful environments contrast with typical grimdark fantasy.
- Companions: Fully voiced allies with personal stories and impactful interactions.
**Potential Concerns (Pre-Release):
-Scope vs. Expectations: Early footage suggested a smaller world than anticipated; may lack the "open-world" depth of competitors.
- Lore Density: Newcomers to Eora’s lore might feel overwhelmed by references.
Conclusion:
Avowed promises a compelling narrative and inventive combat but risks falling short of hype if its world feels constrained or its systems undercooked.
