It's bad because of the opposite reason you said. It makes 0 stealth character unviable for most stealth-only quests, like that JKK mail bomber ones, or gray army base. Both can be brute-forced, but still viable enough for 0 stealth characters with high tailoring.
Ofc it's all very few in number, but still kinda sucks. And due to how the game mechanic works, yellow or green eye only affects its "timer", doesn't affect their actual detection. Probably gives you 1-3 seconds delay at best.
Basically just adding more tedium in the game, unless Styg reworked the entire mechanic.
I go with all 4 schools, keeping TM at 70 though I also go with 12 int.I'm not sure if this is troll or you play on easy, because 4 school is shit after the Psi Rework. Let alone innervation slot, you could barely cast stuff without exhausting your psi points, thus requiring unnecessary psi booster feats. Even 3 school is already pretty exhausting. 70 TM is barely viable because it still left you with huge chance of PTC backlash. If you still kept the mentality of adrenaline + PTC, you'll have a VERY bad time and enjoying 10 AP for 3 seconds after that...
Wow, I picked an interesting time to come back after not having played for 4 years. So a big set of restrictions JUST got made for Psionics, eh?Tbh it's actually not as bad as some people said.
It just limits the Psi, from swiss knife with huge-ass machete attachment, to a specialised toolbox.
You can still play as hybrid, but you need to think which skills will help your build. For example, sniper metathermics still able to do their old strategy, with ThermoD or Cryogenic Induction's shatter with splash of Temporal Manipulation for LTI and PTC. It's still within a class idea. But now you can't suddenly shoot ice chunks or summon hose of fire or rewind and stop time.
But in this case, TM now requires you to max it out instead of just 40 point wonder, which is honestly very fair.
Tl;dr it ain't that bad, just plan your character and skills they need
While I agree Snooping isn't really a good feat I don't think it's the most worthless feat in the game when we have:
Perfect Scattering <- the most worthless feat in the game
Ninja Looter <- you don't need it for more loot, just pump pickpocketing skill
Burglar <- just pump stealth skill/gear instead of wasting a feat slot
Tempered: Heat <- CON 12 requirement is just too high
Tempered: Acid <- see above
Tempered: Cold <- see above
Tempered: Electricity <- see above
Tempered Electricity kinda good since it reduced NO, which usually the bane of tanky build.
Also for OP, perception secrets are usually kinda okay for oddities playthrough, it adds exp early on, making the game a bit easier before Depot A. And you could just skip stuff if you're on Oddities run.
i laughed at the 0 point in trap skill comment, that was exactly my reaction when i started looking at 3 per 0 trap skill builds in this forum.
Interesting review in general, as for the respec option, i like that there is none because i like the tension of choice and consequences, even when i make bad choices.
Characters regenerate health only when above 90% or 95% of HP. Below that, they don't regenerate HP.
