Unlearning?

Okay I knew we were due to get new skills to learn, and the teleporting ones look sweet, but UNlearning?

Admins, will there be a cap on the skills or so many skills we can learn that we must flush some of them from our minds occasionally?

It seems like an incredibly counterproductive skill that I would imagine nobody would want to learn.

  • From another thread:

    "Don't remember the thread, but the way it was explained to me:

    Unlearning skills that one doesn't need will reduce the time needed to learn other skills, given the new expanding skill timeline.

    For example, unlearning Tinkering I and II because one has already learned Tinkering III.

    Regardless, not sure I agree with the underlying logic as it appears to take another challenge out of the game." (via Lyndon B Johnson)

    In other words, it seems that unlearning skills will be useful to make it faster to learn new skills because the more skills you have, the slower it will be to learn new skills. Though, I'm not certain of a cap in the quanitity of skills.

  • Well... unlearning skills makes it faster to learn others... kinda logical.

  • You just have to remember that unlearning skills are skills, and count toward the skill penalty, so you better unlearn more skills then your level of unlearning skills, or you just wasted your time... does that make any sense?

  • I don't see why we couldn't just counteract longer skill-learning times with that other skill, though... I forgot what it's called but the one that shortens learning times, lol.

  • Side note: Nyarlathotep, you have an awesome name. I recently got out of a Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign for Call of Cthulhu (:

    Also, I've heard that you can't unlearn the lower levels of skills, but Unlearning may be useful in the future where it could take 6-8 months just to learn the whole skill tree.
