Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, *Avowed*, has been generating significant excitement among gamers. To enhance your gameplay experience and address some common issues, we've compiled a list of the best mods available for *Avowed*. These mods can make your journey through the Living Lands smoother and more enjoyable.
Best Mods for Avowed
Better Companions
One of the key attractions of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to assist you in navigating the perilous Living Lands. However, the default companions often fall short in combat, leaving you to handle most of the challenges alone. The Better Companions mod enhances your allies' effectiveness in battle, ensuring they contribute more significantly when enemies appear. While you'll still lead the charge, your companions will no longer be a mere distraction, allowing for a more balanced combat experience.
Optimized Tweaks AVD – Reduced Stutter, Lower Latency, Better Frametimes, Improved Performance
The top-rated mod on Nexus Mods for *Avowed* focuses on enhancing the game's performance. Even the most polished games can suffer from latency issues, and *Avowed* is no exception. Players have reported various 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, the More Ability Points mod is a game-changer. This mod grants you two additional Ability Points per level, allowing you to develop your character's build more rapidly. No longer will you have to agonize over how to allocate your limited points, as you can now explore more diverse and powerful upgrades early in the game.
More Lockpicks
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 increases the availability of Lockpicks from traders, ensuring you have a steady supply. While you still need to purchase them, this mod reduces the risk of running out when you encounter a rare chest, making your treasure hunting endeavors more fruitful.
Shorter Death Screen
New players to RPGs like *Avowed* might find themselves dying frequently during the early stages. The default death screen in *Avowed* can be frustratingly long, adding to the annoyance of making a mistake. The Shorter Death Screen mod addresses this issue by reducing the duration of the death screen, allowing you to get back into the action more quickly and with less frustration.
These are the top mods for *Avowed* that can significantly enhance your gaming experience. All of these mods are available on Nexus Mods, so be sure to check them out and tailor your *Avowed* adventure to your preferences.
*Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.*
