The knowledge point mechanic is so trash

[Turtles]

Why can't we just unlock the skill tree by leveling up? Instead you have to do stupid tedious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in order to unlock new moves. Hey go here and collect 3 scrolls, or go here and sit through a 20sec pray animation 3 times for a single knowledge point. Then you have to do that 10 more times to unlock your next set of talents. At this point I'd rather get assassinated by Yasuke IRL than have to interact with this dog water bloat content.

Psychology .. to keep you hooked so you spend more money on useless stuff.
Mechanics like this are normally used in mobile and predatory games.
Kinda weird thing to have it in pc game.

Diablo 4 had something similar .. Blizzard lost 99.6% players in first month. According to unconfirmed leaks from the company.
They changed it within a year.

imagine being so weak that you have to spend money coz you simply lack the absolutely minuscule amount of consistency you have to posses to level your knowledge

and then thinking the whole mechanic exists to force you to spend money

LMAO

Dumb thing to say. Its waaay too easy to advance compared to a mobile game. Iwas in Knowledge 6 before progressing with the 3rd main assassination target, and everything past that is useless.

It's a clever little gameplay twist on the notion of many Asian martial arts, which is that anyone can pick up the motions but masters understand that it's a matter of what's on the inside. Virtue, focus, discipline, and soundness of mind.

I'm not saying that's why they did it, but rather that it was a clever way to gate higher-level skills. Finding ancient manuscripts, meditating, praying at shrines... All things that symbolize clearing the mind and seeking to be at inner peace, which the masters of yesteryear used to say was required to rise beyond mere rote in the martial arts.
