They allow you to level up.
And that does what leveling up usually does.

Could be spiced up with more perks, and different ways to increase skill groups or individual skills... well, whatever fits the game and works good.

Whatever the fuck you make it to be.
What does it do in Skyrim? What will it do in Watseland 2?

How many times are you going to skip over i said that increases by use should be small, incremental?
It only does double the same work if you design it the way you think!

Before Wasteland 2 is complete. Otherwise, no, it's not known (except to a select few of us :kfc: )

Usually it does pointless arbitrary shit that could be either spread in time more using use-based system or done away with entirely.

Small increases sum up into big ones. Are you some kind of creationist? :eek:

Such an obvious answer. Were they to actually kickstart it after W2 release, no one would actually give them any more jewgolds after seeing the broken mess that W2 will turn out to be. My guess is that Fargo will kickstart this a few weeks or so after releasing the W2 video, so everyone still has the wool over their eyes.

Not sure if I'm :troll:ing

Nah. Im a consumer.
Well... i did just create a coffee... (and a small fart)

Yeah... imagine that?

So like , in P:E you do all these fights. You fight and fight and fight, hack, hack, hack, slash, slash, slash....for days and days and days and even months of (in game) time and nothing happens.
All those fights you won - and survived - taught you nothing at all.

Right - right?

All that magic goes through your hands, or head or whatever... and you dont learn anything at all? Hundered and hundreds of times you perform spells, release energies.. - nothing.

No, you have to wait for some arbitrary point where it all dawns on you at once!

And you go see this old master and he teaches you something and you just know how to do it right at once. No training, no repetition needed to say, become proficient with a technique or a spell.
At best the screen fades to black - while the gameoworld waits frozen for few minutes or a day or two.

And then - voila! You just know it and no matter how many times you perform that technique nothing ever changes at all! You dont become incrementally better with it, you dont learn maybe how to incorporate that technique with some other.
Your strikes dont become a little bit faster, or harder or defense gets a little bit better, right?

And the spells...man... you read something from the book and you immediately know how to do it!

Its like riding a horse or driving a car. Someone tells you how to do it and you just do it!

Practice means nothing at all.
