I feel like I'm lugging half my stats around in a bag. I'm building my character around available gear. Shouldn't put more than X points in this non-comat ability 'cause I can get +2 from gear and +1 from a trait, etc.
I have multiple bars of just items I swap to. My bartering set, my charisma set, my crafting set, my chest opening lucky charm set, etc. etc.
It's a bit tedious and micro-manage heavy, but I'm certainly not going to drop excessive ability points into things I can get via gear.
And then there's armor/weapons. I need str/dex/int to equip them, so I stat those stats because speed/con/perception will be on plenty of gear but they don't help me actually equip better gear with more stats on them. I can always swap around accessories to get con/per/speed, but I can't equip a set of nice plate armor without X strength, or an amazing bow without X dexterity, etc.
I really wish we just had more stats to build our characters with, and less of it on gear to micromanage/pre-plan our characters around.
