Hey all, this version makes max level skills more fun.
In the old version, it didn't feel that interesting to take a skill from level 6 to 7, or 7 to 8. You barely felt the difference as the increase was so small. And the game often ended before you could even reach that high. That's a wasted opportunity, because working towards and achieving a max level skill should be a fun thing to do!
To fix this, skills now max out at level 7 instead of 8, which means you can actually reach them before the game ends. And to compensate and make it exciting, the last 2 skill levels now have values that jump up 2x as much. So it's now worth it to choose a skill to focus on, as the core of your build, and try max it out ASAP to take advantage of those final levels.
Have fun!
