I wonder if you can max every Field Skill in the game. I hope not.
Also, I second about getting Mechanical first. Raise that to 3 before anything, afterwards, spend them however you want. From what I hear, 3 is the highest a probe requires to be planted.
Could have been cool, but I understand this to be a game where your protagonist is a passenger in the narrative. I can live without choices and consequences, but I don't like games where the narrative forces you to identify with a character who has no agency in the story.
While there are no choices and consequences in the main storyline from the looks of things.
I have heard that there are choices and consequences in some side quests. And the game supposedly autosaves after you witness the consequences of your choices. Your choice lead to the death of an NPC? Too bad, cannot save scum to get him out. I havent seen any C&C yet though, so take it with a grain of salt. Just heard of that on the chans.
