Many people are tossing in +1's. I'd like to hop on-board, and toss in a -8,589,934,592.
This is a completely impractical idea. It only seems like a good idea to people who don't know anything at all about programming.
As the OP and someone who has made a lot of money programming in over a dozen languages over the last 25 years, I think I actually know quite a bit about programming. I think you have done a great job of making a dismissive argument. If I was arguing that the game should be balanced around all the possible permutations, I would agree with you. But I am not, so I don't.
For the record, I have very little faith that my suggestion would be implemented even in part. And if it was, it surely would not be in its entirety. But it's our job to ask for the stars and Larian's to have us accept the moon.
