Thanks a bunch. It's always great to hear from a fan. There is a story reason for why you get so many skills so soon. I do see how that can be intimidating though. If you've read the book, you'd pick up on some odd things regarding the game. It was purposefully done.
I will say skills have a variety of use. So, while it can be a bit shocking learning so much at once or so soon, you will find use for everything at some point.
Thanks for the opinion though. If I do decide to get a new laptop for Unreal Engine, I will definitely be spacing out the skills by a lot. Unfortunately, that's one issue that I'm not exactly able to fix here due to the story significance.
Also, I would love to hear other critiques. How long have you been reading my book. How did you hear about my game? Who are your favorite characters and what would you like to see in the future of the story and games?
