The skill menu nearly gave me a headache.
It wasn't like the neat little grids I was used to in games. This thing was layered, sprawling, complicated. For a while, I just stared at it like a confused cat at a math equation.
Eventually, after poking around long enough, I figured it out. The system wasn't giving me skills directly—it was offering factions. Four major ones, apparently tied to roles I didn't even know existed in this world.
Each faction granted passive skills, scaling by levels. And from the look of it, picking the right faction for the right class could mean the difference between surviving a dragon… or being its lunch.

The more I scrolled, the more it felt like I wasn't just choosing skills—I was choosing an identity.
And if I got it wrong? Well… let's just say I'd rather not imagine being a shiny, useless accessory.
