yeah, no respec. like mentioned, it puts weight into your decisions and character progression. ****ty/nonoptimal build? that's fine imo, it makes each playthrough something special. if there was an option to respec, you could essentially do everything you wanted to do in 1 playthrough, gameplay/combat wise. not a fan of that, and pretty much why i've never replayed an elder scroll game which allowed the player to become an all powerful jack-of-all trades
