Obsidian Entertainment showcased a considerably deep dive into its upcoming fantasy RPG Avowed for the recent Xbox Developer Direct, and while the footage has led to some fans becoming skeptical of the game, others have been pleased to get a more in-depth look at its world, its colorful visuals, and its combat in action. In the combat footage shown, Obsidian revealed that Avowed players would be allowed to "mix and match" their loadout to suit their playstyle, and this feature simultaneously lends itself to the ability to wield magic and guns simultaneously — a character archetype that is arguably more underused than it should be.
