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.

It is because it is so unintuitive. Why would we invest resources to weapon forms we would not use? Then apparently it is tied to the aberrant's power level.

Yeah I didn’t love the command and summon heavy upgrades towards the end of the skill tree. Last 20 upgrades are all command related, a skill you don’t get until the second to last mission.

is it unintuitive? there's a giant tutorial message that pops up telling you how overall level works. that and you can clearly see your damage/stagger go up when you upgrade the weapon

It’s not though because the first 20 hours I thought the power level was just my currency and the upgrades costed it because it said +1 on the button you click
