And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

His retarded campaign against experience points for killing stuff.

It make no sense that enemies drop items and gold, but not XP. Based Gary Gygax would smack him right up the head if he could.

Way too worried about balance in single player games.

These. He strives for equilibrium but loses sight of entertainment value in the process.

They don't IRL.

Makes no sense.

Elder Scrolls tried to make sense of XP by tying skill usage to advancement, since that's closer to intuitive reality.

The with that its problem is there's no story to it. You're just grinding the skill to get better at it. There are no critical lessons learned, no difficult challenges overcome, you're just steadily improving through repetition.

Maybe there never will be an ideal, fun character progression system. generic XP is forever stupid thoughever

The background options for your character in Pentiment basically didn't matter outside of some very infrequent flavor text.

You don't seem to realize that Sawyer still gives XP for completing quests.

Probably the most reasonable XP system out there, honestly. Actually encourages role-playing, because you can say some guys you talked to in the quest hub area taught you things off-screen.

You're definitely not going to discover the secrets of blacksmithing by grinding rats for loot in any case. You can't even RP how that could happen without some unbelievable asspull, like finding an intact page from a forgotten blacksmithing tome among the piles of fuzz and guts.
