Why cant i level up certain attributes?

[Hisoka44]

I have 12 free karma points, however game wont let me invest more than 1 point into certain attributes. How does it work?

Skills can't be more than the attribute for the skill. Specializations can't be more than their parent skill.

If you have Quickness 1, you can't have more than Ranged Combat 1. If you have Ranged Combat 1, you can't have more than Pistols 1.

If your Ranged Combat is 0 you can't even have Pistols 1.

That's super wierd.. How would my stat spread be if i want to play a granade launcher/shotgun dude?

See how far you want to go in shotguns for the abilities, plan to get at least that much in Quickness and Ranged combat. I don't think the grenade launcher needs anything special. You'll want some Body as well to take some hits.

Quickness 6
The lines on the left of the screen lead to the parent stat that you need.

Buy stuff if you think you're going to need it, especially consumables. The items you can find are more of a nice bonus.

there is also a limit set for certain races ,Dwarf, human , Elf, etc.

JUst a tip to make it easier to plan gear and leveling.

You can upgrade primary stats with clothes and implants If you don't plan to max them out and get subskills.. Those can give you tiny bonus to chance to hit with the stat in question or extra HP.

But those items are useless if plan to level up subskills.

Cos those items do not let you level up subskills like for example range combat or drones, meaning if you want to level those you always have to use karma to level primary abilities - stats for those skills.

Was a bit meh when i seen that but that's how it is, i guess it would be too OP if you could save a few karma points just by buying a item.

im disliking the game so far. Main reason is combat: even when you're on the enemy face, i get a 55% hit chance. Every combat is so tedious and borring since, most hits from every single party member, misses.
Also, there's 0 gear progression in the game. None of the weapons in the game seem to matter.

[shoopy]

There's only about 2 or 3 "levels" of weapon upgrade so yeah, stats matter more than weapons.

Enemies behind cover can be hard to hit and hard to damage, so you should use flanking and flushing attacks whenever you can. Also use aim buffs, cyber eyes, target marking, and weapon abilities that increase aim. Also you can lure enemies into overwatch so you shoot them on their turn while they are moving and therefore have no cover to protect them. There are ways to get your hit chance up to 99%

Then either your relevant stats are too low or you're using a non-close-range weapon (e.g. sniper rifle). Hit chance also depends on difficulty, on hardest one(s) it's drastically reduced.

Weapons matter, but they require relevant stats (base stat and this weapon type skill) and maybe certain circumstances to shine. You can't just pump int and cha and expect to always hit everything with a sniper rifle while having 1 in its skill.
