Top Avowed Mods for Enhanced Gameplay

Obsidian Entertainment’s latest RPG, *Avowed*, is generating a buzz for all the right reasons. Yet, even the most engaging games can benefit from a few enhancements to smooth out the player experience. Here's a curated list of the best mods for *Avowed* that can elevate your gameplay to new heights.

Best Mods for Avowed

Better Companions

One of the standout features of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to aid you in exploring the perilous Living Lands. However, the default companions might not contribute significantly to combat, often leaving much of the work to you. The Better Companions mod addresses this by enhancing the effectiveness of your allies in battle. While you'll still lead the charge, your companions will now play a more active role, ensuring they're not just standing by while you face off against foes.

Optimized Tweaks AVD – Reduced Stutter, Lower Latency, Better Frametimes, Improved Performance

The most sought-after *Avowed* mod on Nexus Mods 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 stuttering, but the community has responded with a mod that tackles these problems head-on. The Optimized Tweaks mod optimizes several aspects of the game without compromising its visual quality. Its description promises, "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

While many players focus on enhancing gameplay mechanics, others prioritize their personal journey within the game. Crafting the perfect character build can require a significant number of Ability Points. The More Ability Points mod accelerates this process by granting two additional Ability Points per level, allowing for rapid and substantial character development. This mod eliminates the need to painstakingly allocate limited points, opening up a world of possibilities early in your adventure.

More Lockpicks

Lockpicks are essential in *Avowed* for accessing the locked chests scattered throughout the Living Lands, which often contain valuable gear. However, these items can be scarce, with limited ways to acquire them. The More Lockpicks mod solves this issue by increasing the availability of Lockpicks from traders. With this mod, you're less likely to run out of Lockpicks at crucial moments, though you'll still need to remember to purchase them when the opportunity arises.

Shorter Death Screen

For newcomers to RPGs like *Avowed*, early gameplay can be challenging, leading to frequent deaths. The default death screen in *Avowed* is notably lengthy, which can be frustrating. The Shorter Death Screen mod alleviates this annoyance by reducing the duration of the death screen, allowing you to get back into the action more quickly. This mod encourages a more fluid and less punishing gameplay experience.

These are the top *Avowed* mods that can enhance your gameplay. All of these mods are available for download on Nexus Mods.

*Avowed is currently available on PC and Xbox.*
