  • Everything. Or just this.

    I need to get my car fixed so I can leave.

    I need to get paniers and a rack for a bike so I’m not so reliant on my car.

    I need to find a therapist to feel safe.
    I need to set up a computer to email every provider in a whole state to try to find one.
    I need to set up a computer so I can work.
    I need to feel safe to set up a computer.

    Everything seems like the most important thing to do right now. I know the actual only important thing to do today is get food for at least 3 days so I can have at least 1 day when that’s not a problem. I need someone to tell that to even though I’d already thought of that and thought that I have nobody to tell it to, so thank you for asking.


  • Guild Wars (not GW2) didn’t have that problem. All of the skills are just available somewhere if you go get them. The only meaningful build choices are which skills you use, a small number of attributes, and how much of the stats from your gear you are willing to sacrifice to obtain other effects.

    You get to level 20 (the cap) fairly quickly in each campaign and still have all the rest of the game to play with expanding options instead of increasing numbers.

    You can’t just pick a single build and do everything with it, you need to adapt what you’re doing to the missions you encounter, so you’re more than encouraged to play with the other skills.
