Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, *Avowed*, has been generating significant excitement among gamers. While the game itself is impressive, the modding community has stepped up to enhance the experience even further. Here are some of the top mods that can make your journey through the Living Lands even smoother and more enjoyable.
Best Mods for Avowed
Better Companions
One of the highlights of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to help navigate the perilous Living Lands. However, the default companions often fall short in combat, leaving much of the battle to you. The Better Companions mod addresses this by enhancing your allies' effectiveness in fights. While you'll still lead the charge, your companions will now provide meaningful support, making combat encounters more balanced and engaging.
Optimized Tweaks AVD – Reduced Stutter, Lower Latency, Better Frametimes, Improved Performance
The most downloaded mod for *Avowed* on Nexus Mods focuses on enhancing the game's performance. Even the most refined games can suffer from latency issues, and *Avowed* is no different. Players have reported stuttering, but the community has responded with a mod that tackles these problems head-on. The Optimized Tweaks mod offers a comprehensive solution to improve performance and reduce stuttering while preserving the game's visual quality. It optimizes CPU and GPU usage, reduces latency, speeds up loading and boot times, and improves streaming and memory management.
More Ability Points
For players focused on customizing their character builds, the journey to earning enough Ability Points can be frustrating. The More Ability Points mod is a game-changer, granting two extra Ability Points per level. This allows for quicker and more significant upgrades, enabling you to experiment with different builds without the slow grind of earning points.
More Lockpicks
Lockpicks are crucial in *Avowed* for accessing the locked chests scattered throughout the Living Lands, which often contain valuable gear. However, obtaining Lockpicks can be challenging. The More Lockpicks mod ensures that traders have a greater stock of Lockpicks, reducing the risk of running out when you encounter a rare chest. Remember to purchase them when available to stay well-equipped.
Shorter Death Screen
New players to RPGs like *Avowed* may face frequent deaths as they learn the ropes. The default death screen in *Avowed* can be frustratingly long, adding to the annoyance of dying. The Shorter Death Screen mod reduces the time spent on this screen, allowing you to jump back into the action more quickly and enjoy a smoother gameplay experience.
These are some of the best mods available for *Avowed*, all of which can be found on Nexus Mods. By incorporating these mods into your game, you can enhance your gameplay and make your adventure through the Living Lands even more thrilling.
*Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.*
