Good point. You could just have suggested in a more friendly tone to add it, rather than this approach ...


I fixed this in the Wiki ... The increase in skills and states here is directly proportional to the amount of force used.

I hate the stats. Take them away. Away with you, vile skill bars!

I agree that they should tell you how good you are at something. I think that we should be able to get better at it too because it would give weak characters a chance.

Visibility - Well, if we have to have skills... make them visible. Admit the attempt to take away Cantr's uniqueness and create a stat-based RPG :roll:


Exactly. I hate stats, I'd rather not see them at all, but since it looks like they're here to stay no matter what I'd at least like to know what I'm dealing with so I can try to RP around it. Nothing fancy, even a simple "You start to gather some potatoes. You feel a bit clumsy at it." would do wonders.


I agree that we should be able to see how good we are at something and I also think we should be able to gain are skills and maybe with an individual weapon.

Look at the description of persons (behind the smiley), also at your own. There you can see what your skill is for that type of projects.
It is not visible for all types of projects (maybe not everything is implemented yet).
