Triddle

I've been running a melee build, and I have started all combat encounters by sprinting in and engaging in melee. I was slightly surprised when the anger mismanagement flaw popped, since while I do rush in, I also block diligently to make use of the duelist perk. Of course, I miss some blocks with my big slow weapon so I guess its fair enough. What was truly surprising though was when the dependent perk popped up, saying I like to 'lead from the back'. I've sprinted into every single combat encounter from the moment I found a melee weapon in the prologue. Once or twice I'd take cover when my health was low and switch to a ranged weapon - literally once or twice because by the time my build was coming online that was absolutely no longer needed. Of course, I can't draw all the agro on everything all the time, and my companions occasionally arrive at the front in time to get hit, but the notion that my character is 'leading from the back' is ludicrous. Naturally I've already taken the flawed perk, so c'est la vie I'll take it, but it leads me to think that everyone is eventually going to qualify for all flaws on all playthroughs - is that the design intent?

Turns out it was just a case of loading a save before I'd gotten one of the higher tier Adra. Looks like you have to have found an example before you can upgrade it, which seems sensible.

The other day I was able to craft higher tier Adra from lower tiers, but this is no longer the case. Couldn't find any mention of this in the patch notes - is this an intended change?
