Pointless? hmm, I kinda like them, they add some realism to the game and allows you to make your character more unique. I didn't know that people hate them
Unique my ass, there's no point keeping the sliders somewhere in the middle, so farmers will go full nature and industrialists will go full industry, forcing you to make alts.
Regarding combat it's in 99% situations full peace/change while building the character, and full tradition/martial while fighting, not to mention the fact in a permadeath game dying makes your combat character much stronger.
It's a bullshit mechanic and needs to go, it doesn't make anything more unique.
I agree. I wish it wasn't the case, but in its current iteration, it is a pointless stupid mechanic, because of the reasons you mentioned.
Personal beliefs could work, if they were small changes that actually made your character unique instead of just everyone using the same sliders while also forcing you to use alts if you're a hermit (because of the bonuses being so huge that they're practically a necessity). None of that 3x LP so everyone progresses super fast and then only 25% loss when you die.
Personally I also think they should be permanent (or at least take a much, MUCH longer time to revert), but I'm not sure if many people will agree with me on that.
