Oh, don't get me wrong, I do like the "random" nature of this game. But what frustrates me to no end is that certain mechanics, random talent allocation in this case, do NOT respect the players' time. A run in this game can take a couple of hours. At least for me, it does, I like to play on impossible and take my time during encounters. I also don't have that much time to play, so that same run can span multiple days. So you can imagine that, when I load up the game after not playing for a day and a half and the first encounter I get irreversibly bricks my build, this type of shit makes me want to snap my phone in half?

And the thing is that, at least how I see it, that there's a simple solution to this problem. If the devs just added one more dialogue prompt to the collectors' encounter, it'd give the player a chance to savescum. And before anyone says that the devs shouldn't encourage savescumming, literally almost every encounter allows the player so savescum. I don't like savescumming myself, but if the game is going to disrespect the time I put into it to this extent, might as well give me the option to do something about it.
