Avowed’s devs tap the it’s not Skyrim sign for the third time in a year (at least), and ‘don’t love’ to compare games, anyway

Seeing Obsidian’s developers make the same public statement for the third time in a year that the studio’s upcoming RPG Avowed isn’t like Skyrim reminds me of nothing so much as a prank interview with Elijah Wood—in which the Lord of the Rings co-star Dominic Monaghan torments poor Frodo with repeat enquiries into whether he wears wigs.

Well, it’s happened again. This comes after a statement made in June last year, wherein Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart told us that Avowed was no longer like Skyrim. Then an interview with PCGamesN in January, wherein Patel told them that the game was not like Skyrim. This latest assurance comes from GameInformer, who were once more told that Avowed is not (you might want to sit down) like Skyrim.
