Skill trees in action games where you're just gonna end up unlocking everything eventually are really boring and dumb and don't need to be there. Example: Shadow of Mordor is a real good video game, but the skill tree doesn't add poo poo to it. It's just a hoop you jump through to get your cool tricks, and you're gonna be able to get them all by the end anyway. All it does is gate you with the Power thing and let you pick what order you get them in, which kinda, who cares about that. The g should've had a Metroid-like upgrade system where you can run around and grab cool relics that give you the abilities the skill tree does or upgrade your health and focus and the amount of ~~elf-shot~~ you can hold and poo poo like that. It'd have the same effect of gating you--maybe you can only unlock certain areas or get certain upgrades after killing enough captains or something--and letting you pick what order you get things in (because it's open-world), but it's more active and fun and not an arbitrary skill tree. If the skill tree features actual choices I guess that's cool, but if it doesn't, why bother?

Heh, yeah, I'll bet you prefer unskilled trees -- they're more familiar to you!

skill trees in general are stupid, all games should have character/class-locked abilities.

I don't mind if their made well but every game made in the past 5 years regardless of the company has almost the exact same skill tree and collection formula, OP, so it's a bit boring.

metroidvania upgrades are the best upgrades i like starcraft 2's plot upgrade system but i wish it let you change later. esp since you have way more artifacts than you need
