Avowed's flexible combat system represents Obsidian's dedication to player choice: "It's not just marketing speak – it really is the most important thing to us"

Teaming up with Kai from the the Avowed Big Preview in battle, using a big hammer to fight a skeleton in a robe.

One of the biggest choices to make in Avowed is deciding your preferred fighting style. It's no small thing considering how many options are available. Rather than lock you into a specific class build which has become a mainstay norm in RPGs over the years, Obsidian's upcoming adventure gives you free reign to pick from a myriad of different dual-weapon loadouts, which can be swapped in and out at any point by either changing between equipped slots or opening up your inventory. There are a number of combinations to experiment with in the fantastical Living Lands setting, ranging from swords and shields to guns, bows, and even magical spells.
