I fucking hate this "Do the best thing for unreleased game". Jesus fucking Christ one of the main joys of a game is to figure shit out and do the math.
Path of Exile is plagued with this retarded shit and no one had the time to sit and study the math and game new methodology to approach combat so its just spreading misinformation and making the new guys have the worse time of their lives because they decided to follow some shit eater wanting to receive his 1 usd payment from youtube.

With the direction Obsidian has been going, it is unlikely Avowed will be difficult enough that minmaxing is necessary anyway.

You know if you know RPG theory, you know why machineguns and similar stuff is typically not used in RPG games together with swords. It depends on aiming and reflexes, and ultimatelly it ends as "if you want to kill something that you can't kill with current gun, bring a bigger gun."

Even in SF settings when it's normal, it typically means one lucky hit and you roll new character. And if you have armor that can stop machinegun, enemies are typically bringing in autocannon with 50 mm.

I want to see an RPG where black powder firearms will pop a head like a melon
