Obsidian Entertainment has published extensive combat loadout notes for Avowed, set in the world of Eora (Pillars of Eternity). The first-person RPG emphasizes fluid weapon and magic swapping without rigid class restrictions.
Loadout & Combat Mechanics
- Dual-Wielding Variety: Players can dual-wield pistols, pair a sword with a spell grimoire, or hold two elemental wands simultaneously.
- Elemental Synergies: Freezing an enemy with ice magic makes them susceptible to crushing bludgeoning damage from heavy warhammers.
- Companion AI Tactics: Companions provide active crowd-control abilities and comment on quest choices based on alignment values.
Narrative Choice & Reactivity
Quests feature branching dialogue outcomes with no singular binary moral alignment meter. Regional factions react dynamically to decisions made throughout the Living Lands.
