Skillset? Character system?

[Llyranor]

Okay, so there are 10 skills. So, er, what are they, then? The game's not that far from release.

 

4 firearms: pistols, SMGs, shotguns, assault rifles (do they count as 4 skills?)

Melee/grenades

Stealth?

Hacking/electronics/gadgets (multiple skills?)

Diplomacy, possibly divided between multiple skills?

Ballet

 

What do we actually know so far?

 

How does character progression occur, as well? +1 skill per level? How?

 

Less secrecy, please, I'm your CEO.

I don't think they'd have diplomacy as a skill. This game seems more Deus Ex-y than Mass Effect-y.

All the guns are separate skills, yeah. Melee and grenades are also different skills. Ballet unlocks the tutu outfit for Thorton and turns him into a Terminator.

Thanks.

 

Wait, wait. What? Melee and grenades are separate skills???

I am SO buying this game.

We can call them "things that you throw that may or may not explode", if we want to be more generic. The 'gadgets' category covers a good number of things that you can carry around, not all of which will be lethal.
