U didn't answer me, i know sleuth is the most important ability in the game, coz u literally can't play without it, i mean is the first game i see that force the players to get an ability to can play the game, and i think is a really bad thing
Other games force you to grind by doing repetitious tasks such as playing minigames, doing some work, doing some training, etc to advance... this is not a new concept. I chose, instead of a grind to have the sleuth ability be the main (but not the only) way to get skill points.
If your complaint is that you should start the game with 1 sleuth instead of having to choose to add one point to sleuth, well that's a fair point. What can I tell you... there is the suggestion for starting skill points in the tutorial, it's up to you to ignore it at your detriment.
I don't know if I can answer you better than this, but I appreciate your feedback.
