Obsidian Entertainment has been heavily emphasizing player choice and freedom in the lead-up to its first-person fantasy roleplaying game Avowed. In line with that you're-the-center-of-the-universe message, the developers have revealed that there's "no one perfect build" in its classless RPG.
"At Obsidian, it's your world, your way, right?" says gameplay director Gabe Paramo in an interview with Gamesradar+. That philosophy manifests in combat via the dual-wielding system, which lets you combine any two pieces of equipment at the same time. "'Combinatorics' as I call it; people make fun of me for using this term."
