Obsidian developer highlights importance of missable content in RPGs like Avowed

An Obsidian developer has emphasized that "missable content" is essential to the RPG genre. Berto Ritger believes this aspect makes each player's experience unique and encourages discussions about different discoveries within the game. Ritger noted that while players may miss certain elements, the game will still highlight key features to engage players. For example, prominent landmarks like a tall lighthouse are designed to attract attention and exploration. The developer's comments reflect a shift from completionism towards a more personal gaming experience, where players can share their individual journeys and discoveries in games like the upcoming Avowed.
