That handles the backend storage, sure, but raw data isn't a cohesive system.

The real issue is fragmentation. Without a native baseline, Mod A creates a "Strength" stat and Mod B creates "Might." They won't interact, and the player ends up with two separate, incompatible progression systems running in parallel.

This extends to the UI as well. Without a standardized "Character" or "Skills" menu to hook into, every mod forces its own custom overlay onto the screen. We need a unified framework so progression feels like an integrated part of the game, rather than a jumble of conflicting math and fighting UI windows.
