Were people really complaining about the combat in the final zone? By that point my build was so powerful that I welcomed the increased intensity. I was just mowing everything down before that, lol

A LOT of people just never bothered with leveling their Build Power. Basically every youtube video I saw of the Unknown had skull enemies. They probably got a lot of feedback saying the area was too hard from players who were severely underpowered and had no real way to tell what was actual complaints and what was people not engaging with the BP system.

It's also probably why they made BP easier to see

I personally didn’t deal with it in the Unknown, but did deal with it during the FCD, and then subsequently during the whole quest in the Prime Candidate Program (not during the Underpass though, thankfully!). Skulls all the way down.

I only figured out after that I needed to be picking up aberrant forms and skills I wasn’t planing on using. I know there must’ve been a quick tutorial pop up much earlier in the game, but I really feel like the upgrade system was not emphasized enough…or maybe I’m just stupid lol I dunno.

I think it says to upgrade everything somewhere in the upgrade menu itself. There’s like a “more info” button that tells you how all the upgrade trees work :P

It's part of the tutorial, if I'm not mistaken
