So, I've finished the game last night, and it was a great experience overall. It is a very meaty RPG and something I've been looking for for a long time. That being said, there are some areas that needs improvement in order to improve RPG experience, which I think is important in order for it to be more accessible for new players; especially when 2 DLCs are still coming and this game has every chance to flip the initial perception due to botched marketing (yes, I said it) and pricing (thank you Microsoft!). Currently the RPG system is leaning too hard to specialization, most people, especially on first play-through, would likely to go for general build, they're figuring out what they want to do as they go, and it can be sucks for them when they found out that they thing they want to do will basically botch the initial build they're aiming for. A lot of the problems are players found it difficult to pass a plethora of low skill checks which they probably should've passed easily without even needing to invest points to that specific skills. When they couldn't pass that check, maybe for opening a certain door, player feels that they missed out on content (even though they're not). I propose several solution that can Improve or at least mitigate the rough edges that player will inevitably encounter with current system: 1. Ring slots. The game already has earrings and bracelets, instead of being Junk Items, I think it's good for them to be turn into Skill enhancing items (ranging from +1 to +4 skills enhancement), the game only need to add ring/jewelry slot (4 of them ideally), I don't think people will notice that they can't see the bracelets or earring they put on their characters. So, I think, it will be easy to implement. 2. Consumables. Let's face it, most people don't even realize there is a hunger meter. I'm playing on normal so I don't even know what is the function of foods beside to heal you outside combat. I believe many people already asking why would Dev remove the ability to enhance stats temporarily via consumables, especially when it is a staples (wink) in this kind of game. I want to do drugs in order to be able to open a door, please Obsidian, let me do drugs (build)! 3. Skills enhancing armor and armor mods. This is also an easy fix to mitigate some of the frustrations of not being able to pass a skill check, especially when you need 1 extra point to do so; moreover wouldn't it be make more sense for a specific armor to enhance specific skills related to certain build? - especially considering there are "Engineer Armor", just add +2 to your engineering skills, it's an easy implementation and would help a lot of people navigating the skill checks. This is all for now, I just want to make sure I put it out here in hope that Obsidian Dev read this.

For whatever it is worth, I tend to not care for jRPGs, but I enjoyed CO:E33 gameplay anyway. It's jRPG systems are actually rather overshadowed by dodge/parry mechanic which makes it closer to baby's first Sekiro. One optional boss in particular felt very FromSoftware. That however, I think is also a weakness as while the game does have variety of characters with their own gimmicks, and neat character building system, it does just dictates how much dodging/parrying one will have to do per-encounter. That said, story is the selling point.

I just realised I own Greedfall. And have it installed. So I am trying that. First impression: yup, definitely a Spiders game.

I started playing OW1 while waiting for this to fix, but the loading delays killed my buzz. Decided to go back to OW2, bite the bullet and load an old save. Ran through it all, got to the N-Ray facility, got to the puzzle... Same bug again
