There should be a balance though. It has, and always will be a ludicrous notion to me that some upstart adventurer and craftsman can immediately have the potential to make equipment better than what has been made by every single other craftsman in the entire history of the game's world, outdoing what could be considered legendary artifacts even.
To be fair, the OS games have assumed you're far more than some random upstart. In 1 you were literally a divine essence that protected the entire cosmos and even gods and elemental lords yielded to you and recognized you. They seem to be going with a similar theme in this one.
