I’ll keep it short, please redesign the respec in the game.
I think its awesome that Larian knows us roleplayers so well they immediately gave us a character editor ingame.
Immediately allows to fix problems with how you leveled your character, or a companion.
Immediately allows to change your companions into different classes in followup walkthroughs, for some nice variance.
And yes, sure, its abuseable. You can also savescum. Should Larian protect you from that, too ?
Prepare yourself for a horde of "If you don't like it, don't use it".
Um.
Which is wrong ... why exactly ?
I'd make respect cost [...] for Tactician [...]
Uh-hu.
So people who cannot restrain themselves from using options just because they are there ... will just drop to lowest difficulty, respec, then change back. Big win ! You totally archieved something there.
Don't like it don't use it as long as your having fun (sarcasm).
Fun ? In games ??? HOW DARE YOU !!!!! I'm telling Lae'zel you suggested that !
Tempted to be one of the "if you don't like it, don't use it" crowd.
Dont join those people. They suck. They have this icky things, like common sense and rationality and logic, and they care about facts. YIKES !!! Who ever does that ???
We should all judge them in silence until they drop dead ! That will teach 'em.
I am primarily a Larian fan who has always been unimpressed by the DnD ruleset (stone me),
*throws first stone*
*throws more stones*
*throws the last stone*
*throws even more stones*
But as a person who also greatly appreciates a narrative experience, I also see the value of being forced to live with my decisions.
Its a technical impossibility, since it would require an online connection for saving and loading, so you cannot edit that. As long as you're a master of your data, you can do with the data as you please.
Which is kind of the point.
On the surface, respecc is about choice since you can choose not to use it, but in reality it is anti choice. If choice diesnt have consequences or can be easily undone, choice does not matter. If a doalogue requires persuasion fir the 'best' outcome respecc. If dialogue requires intimidation change it. If you need to be barbarian, druid, or some other class just respect. Lame.
In conclusion, respect is anti choice sonce it makes choices less meaningful.
ROTFL !!!
I don't think it is a must have feature - especially in a game where you can't easily completely mispec yourself.
...
...
...
You ... cannot ... mispec ... in ... D&D ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Whow.
For me an RPG always meant you have to live with your choices, including on your character.
Then dont respec. Problem solved.
The theme of this thread is that some people want to dictate others how they should play the game, and come up with the strangest "reasons" for why thats right.
It's one of those things that takes you right out of the game.
You have to talk to Withers to even get the option offered. So how exactly is something you clearly demanded in the first place taking you out of the experience ? Just dont talk to Withers then. You dont ever have to, for the story. Only if you screw up.
