In the vast and wondrous world of Avowed, deciding how you fight is just as important as where you explore. Obsidian Entertainment has given players the power to shape their combat experience, offering an array of weapons and magic to mix and match. This isn't just another RPG with predetermined classes. In Avowed, you can switch between weapons and spells mid-battle, letting you adapt to any situation.

Game designer Carrie Patel loves using dual pistols, while Ryan Warden, the production director, prefers a sword and grimoire. Each playstyle brings something unique to the table. The game even lets you swap between first and third-person views, making every encounter feel fresh.

But why go to all this trouble? Obsidian believes in giving players choices that matter. This isn't just about making combat fun, but about allowing you to express your playstyle. Whether you're a stealthy archer or a heavy-hitting warrior, Avowed lets you play your way. And every choice has consequences, from weapon mechanics to story outcomes.

Balancing all these options is a challenge, but it's one Obsidian is tackling head-on. They've tested and tweaked to ensure each weapon feels great, and they've even removed ammo restrictions to keep the action flowing. All this work goes into making sure you have the best experience possible.

Avowed isn't just about combat, though. It's about the whole RPG experience. The game draws from Obsidian's history with Pillars of Eternity, blending realism and personality. Every ability and decision ties back into the game's story and tone.
