specialkid8 04/13/20 5:41:25 PM #24:	Lost_All_Senses posted... What matters is if the skills actually make a difference. There's too many games where picking paths have pretty much no impact. This. A bunch of AAA games (cough Ubisoft) are bunching up in the middle of the scale between normal action games and RPG's so they look like they have more meat. They think having leveled loot and a skill tree that just gives you a point to spend between a 6% increase in ammo inventory or a new stealth kill animation makes a game an RPG. We need more games that use items and weapons as progression rather than half assed perk points. Metro Exodus does a great job with item progression. <cite>specialkid8 posted [p:937333516] in Are you ti...

Jabodie 04/13/20 5:44:57 PM #26:	DrizztLink posted... It's a little irritating when a character NEEDS certain skills no matter what. Imagine playing BL2 Krieg without Release the Beast. Basically all Hellborn Krieg builds don't use the action skill at all, and those builds are still viable in OP10. And the types of maps/ endless hellborn builds are bad against are also a problem for RtB builds. Salvador is probably the most " locked in" in terms of what skills you want in BL2. And maybe Gaige, but half her abilities are useless when compared to Anarchy. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:937333703] in Are you ti...

gunplagirl 04/13/20 5:45:17 PM #27:	I'm fine with skill trees as long as they don't hide things that should be given naturally behind them. Nothing else than if you level up the wrong skills to find out later that you could have unlocked a super dodge that includes invincible frames way earlier.
