Hiver.. where are you finding all this mega loot? when I played through I found a few items at most (and before you go all derp tastic. I did explore the entire city) ..Did you steal most of this stuff? not everyone is doing the stealing thing.
Crafting. Honestly I would remove it from the game.."put points into crafting make this item" ..."Oh no point now I can't raise the skill needed to make it beneficial"
Or give more skill points.
well yeah, which is what I plan on doing with the toolkit, just did not mention it here~ cause the forums are like mine field lately..never know what is going to set someone off.
Ya not having enough skill points sucks lol... for the reasons you stated before... put points into something then screw yourself completely somewhere else... i don't want a "cheating" amount but enough to have fun with.
Want to have to earn them also.. through optional quests and such.. not just given to me through main story.
This would make a great reward for some very challenging fights and quests.. the most valuable item in the game.
