I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.
KOTOR kinda, level your character up as a scout, soldier, or scoundrel, and then around level 6-8 you become a Jedi. Not awful, but limited how much you could take advantage of either skill tree. I did a lot of runs in the game where I didn’t use any level ups until I made Jedi
