Like i get it, if in a single player game, or solo content where you could choose your own design, i’d all be into it, But stat and class rerolls exist for a reason. What if say the leveling build, you made while leveling in a game with irreversable talents was fun. Or in Adventurequest, you played a account for years with extremely expensive training, made a all rounder, and then found out that putting all your stat points in charisma in a 40 of everything level 100 to have a cute puppy and play everything but was mediocre at it all made you 5x weaker than all 100 strength pure. Then there’s systems like runescape which takes it even further and there’s no class at all but just gear and yet you get things like Dharoks, Builds where people risking their health as low as possible hit much harder. a very fun and rewarding mechanic and extremely thrill watching in pvp and dueling. There’s Tribridding, which is like basically swapping around three classes at once frost barraging people only to shoot a dragonfire bolt at them, proc and burn them with a deadly hit and then spec them in with a Armadyl godsword or ballista drop and kill them.
Runescape basically has a system where people can literally, LITERALLY, (and, quite often do), switch between entire builds instanteously swapping from mager to meleer to ranger with a click of all their gear in a single game tick. Far from restricting build choices, it’s created a whole slew of sections of pures making everything from 1 defence pures, 99 defence pures that kill you with poison and dragonfire, range pures, hybrids and tribrids and dharokers and obby maulers. Far from suffering by giving people every choice at once, people think over things a ton and even swap gear in combat.
Maybe you’re a main, have too much hp too much def? Go into dharoks and those hp levels turn into devastating damage. How about a quick and easy to raise pure, wreck people with damage, kill bots and questers but be easy prey to higher mains. But it’s far from dead from suffering from build choices even after all these years. Plus every time a new powerful item drops, even if it’s not bis for a main, it can always pop up in use for a pure. Tanky helm that just poisons enemies, put it on a pure. Weapon is heavy hitting and slow, outclassed but has a 60 str requirement instead of 60 att? Put it on a obby mauler and ko people. It hardly suffers from choices.
