Just copy character progression and character building from Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead

[mw00]

With new skills being in the game new issues have arisen. There's too much bloat, too much grind. But games like CDDA have solved it by giving more complexity to character progression. CDDA splits skills into theoretical and practical knowledge. Also instead of having skill meter for every little skill, there's one general skill level, for example fabrication. And under fabrication there are professions such as carving, woodworking, etc. But leveling up fabrication boosts all of those subskills killing the grind related to leveling each of these professions individually.

nah it's not realistic though and also i like the numbers go up

Yeah...Cataclysm DDA isn't the comparison one should be making when complaining about too much bloat and grind.

Some recipes should be unlockable by a minimum knowledge of the base skill or unlocked faster through the appropriate magazine.

A level 10 carver cannot sharpen a bone if they haven't read the proper magazine. A level 10 electrical engineer can't operate a generator too.

it clearly says that to connect a generator you need or the magazine or level 3 electrical dude, right click on any generator without the magazine and level 3 electrical

Either we should have a general skill like Fabrication, or high levels in one skill unlock related skills. None of us will survive long enough to grind all these skills. Weapons skills should be reduced to Long Weapons/Short Weapons/Spear
