This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Loved Avowed, definitely great. Not perfect, but made me forget my worries while I played it. I went dual pistols, you?

how do you dual pistols? i tried and it wouldnt let me so i just did dagger and pistol before finding a super cool legendary rifle

You just equip em, if I recall correctly. I didn't try it myself, but it definitely is possible:

You still have to attack using LT (on controller) to get the offhand pistol to shoot.

Yeah, Avowed definitely has its flaws in other areas of the game, but its combat was a lot of fun, in my opinion. I really think it got way more hate than it deserved. I'm the same way when reviewing games: If it's fun enough to make me look forward to playing it the next day and I forget about the real world a little bit while I'm playing, then I feel like it accomplished its purpose.

I started out as 2h hammer, but ultimately did shield and 1h axe. I'd probably do a magic centric run next if I ever do a replay, as the magic system did feel pretty good whenever I'd use it as my off-hand.
