Just remove the respec feature entirely.
Teach players that decisions matter.
LOL
Because players, particularly of Larian games, have no clue that decisions matter....alrighty then....
There's no reason to replay the game with a different class when a single character can just be every class and multi-class combo imaginable.
In your opinion and POV on the replay value of this game.
Balance: Respec can be used for extreme power gaming with multi-classes that have a late payoff. Just change your build at every single level to be the most powerful it can be on that particular level.
Key part here - "can be used".
Not encouraged, not forced, not in anyones face. Can be. And people decide how they wanna play the single player game they're playing.
To the "if you don't like it, don't use it" crowd: it's part of the game. I do use game features and I did use it. I tried all kinds of builds because I could. And now my PC feels cheap and not at all unique. Because decisions are worthless and pointless in this game.
So you used something that you were in no way obligated, forced or encouraged to use, now you feel that your character feels cheap and not at all unique....that decisions are pointless in this game and don't change the outcomes whatsoever....therefore every single other player, of this single player game, has to deal with a change (should Larian change this), because of how you feel about choices and your own playthrough....?
Yeah that makes perfect sense...
