yes, this is the route that we're going for :) We've taken stats away and focused it instead on something new that we're calling Traits (if you look at your status page you'll see a subheading for that already) basically you can put points there to improve on specific traits like Scholar/Research or Building, etc. which will affect quests, fighting, and items. This is all still very early, and we're trying to look how to balance it better!

Thanks for the update! I noticed that as well, but didn't see any way to increase points for traits so I'll assume its yet to be implemented. I didn't realize how actively you checked your feed, considering the quality of past games being as high as they are (imo at least). While I'm at it, I'll point out that 2 quests seem to be broken, as the time travel bit from the ghost in the chamber had been completed but the quest itself says ongoing in larklast. I figured, maybe I missed something? But after several days of sleeping in random places and talking to everyone I found nothing. The other is the robbery one, which I know I had completed as well, despite its refusal to admit it
