If you're having fun with what you're doing, and can find a like-minded group that can settle at a shared 'good enough' point, who really cares what others think? The most concise advice I think is 'do what you want' there will always be someone above, sneering at all below. I loved archery and magic as a casual younger kid playing the game and now that I'm entering endgame territory I'm learning I can't even use the talents I grew up on without being judged and criticized.Įlitism will always exist, especially in the end-game where each inefficiency potentially holds someone back from being 'the best'. I feel like my time, money, and progression up to this point was mostly wasted because I invested in the wrong talents. Sorry, I guess I'm just venting at this point. What if I mained puppetry, dual guns, or (god forbid) cleric? What if I don't like fighter, alchemy, or chains? Why does this game and everyone force you to play meta or get left in the dust? If I want to solo endgame, I'd have to be really good and can expect to spend several times longer than anyone who does just average on a meta setup. Time to get talent discriminated or hold back the party that does eventually accept me. I could ditch my 10+ year old character and make a new elf alt, but I'd be leaving behind all my sentimental value and progress that I've been building up.

What if I don't want to use perseus knuckles and revenant cylinders? What if I want to use archery and magic? Even ignoring the inherent problems the talents themselves have, I'm a human which makes archery even more unviable.
