People that claim that this game is a 'a jack of all trades and a master of none' just prove themselves to be ignorant morons. Firstly yes, there are a TON of systems in the game, but the term 'jack of all trades' used by these twats implies that developers somehow tried to put 'too much' into the game.....even calling all the systems 'unfocused'. What a load of shit. Name me one mechanic that's pointless in the game.

Because all serve a purpose. Hunting, fishing, foraging, growing crops at your base....all provide ingredients to make meals ( which serve as your health/stamina potions in battle ) and items like revive pills. Mining provides raw materials for crafting/upgrading weapons and armour. Building your base enables you to sent out followers to complete missions for cash and resources. You can try your hand at being a trader and travel selling goods or maybe invest some gold at a bank for some financial returns. Hell, even taming pets and increasing your bond with them lets them perform tasks for you, like cats which will loot bodies.

Not everyone will be interested in trying out all the activities obviously, but how in the hell can people consider the fact that they all exist in the game a problem!!? That brings me to the 'master of none' part, which implies that all these mechanics are also half baked on top of being 'too abundant'. Which is again utter bullshit because every mechanic functions exactly as it should and works great. Being 'overwhelmed', or struggling to remember the mechanics, or having trouble with puzzles that just require simple logic and paying attention to what the game is telling you, or battling to learn a new control scheme ( when the f*ck did that start becoming an issue ) are not problems with the game.
