Avowed game director Carrie Patel recently embraced the game's "jankiness," highlighting it as a feature rather than a flaw. "You gotta accept a little jank to do something fun or creative," she stated, drawing parallels between Avowed and The Outer Worlds.

This approach mirrors the beloved quirks of games like Skyrim, where minor glitches and unconventional gameplay mechanics often create memorable moments. From exploiting guard arrow mechanics to discovering creative ways to defeat enemies, these unpolished elements add charm and encourage player creativity.

Obsidian Entertainment's track record, including Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, shows how embracing imperfection can enhance gaming experiences. Their signature style combines whimsical encounters with unexpected gameplay situations, creating unique and entertaining moments.

Rather than viewing "jank" as a negative, it should be seen as an opportunity for player expression and discovery. These quirks often lead to the most memorable gaming moments and allow players to interact with the game world in creative, unexpected ways.
