Best and Recommended Settings

Best Graphics Settings

These settings take into account playing Avowed for a balance between quality and performance. Users whose specs are above minimum may feel free to tune the settings to their liking.

What is DLSS Super Resolution Quality?

DLSS Super Resolution Quality creates higher-quality images while also boosting framerates. Set it to auto by default, but lower-end GPUs can opt for the performance option instead to prioritize a smoother experience.

What is NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency?

NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency optimizes your PC and reduces input lag for more responsive gameplay. This setting is a lot more noticeable to help in lower-end PCs, but mid-to-high-end PCs will not experience much difference.

Best Game Settings

Game settings are recommended to be set at default apart from reminders, which can be turned off to declutter the UI. Language may be changed upon user preference.

Best Camera Settings

Camera settings are recommended to be at most 50% strength with Head Bobbing disabled to reduce motion sickness. Players can toggle to third-person view instead when nausea becomes unbearable.

Best Combat Settings

Combat settings are best set to default to experience the game as intended. Players looking for a challenge may disable attack warnings, hit flash, aim assist, and attack/dodge/block align.

Best Audio Settings

Music Volume is recommended to be set lower than the Voice Volume for better clarity on character dialogue. Otherwise, audio settings may be set as preferred.

Best UI Settings

It is recommended to disable hiding failed dialogue choices. Players can reload and select the choice after meeting its requirements if needed.

The rest may be set as preferred. Players may prioritize decluttering the UI for immersion or enable everything for completion.

Best Subtitle Settings

Enabling subtitles is recommended while keeping other settings at default allows for passive skimming of dialogue. This helps ensure you don’t miss important input from companions or their banter.

Best HUD Settings

Compass - Corpses is better disabled to declutter the HUD, and damage numbers can be toggled upon preference.

Best Accessibility Settings

The Accessibility tab groups relevant settings from previous tabs, allowing for easier adjustment of accessibility-related options such as UI text size, subtitles, camera, and screen shake. It does not introduce any new settings.

Best Keyboard Settings

Aside from changing the mouse sensitivity, the default keybinds in Avowed are well-optimized and generally do not require changes unless for personal preference. For example, switching the default Interact keybind from [F] to [E] may be more comfortable for players accustomed to pressing [E] to use instead.

Best Controller Settings

What Are Dead Zones?

A lower dead zone can potentially give you more precise and smoother movement and aim, but can cause controller stick drift if the setting is too low. Stick drift is dependent on your controller, so experiment on which settings work best for you.

Start with the lowest recommended dead zone and test if you get any stick drift, and keep increasing the dead zone until the drift stops.

Best Controller Binds

Aside from adjusting stick sensitivity, the default controller binds in Avowed are well-optimized and generally do not require changes unless for personal preference.
