Hello, noob player here.
I like Glitch, and I think it has a lot of potential, but it's left me with a very strong feeling of "I can come up with personal goals in the game, but I don't know how to achieve them"
For example, it's clear that I could: "Get really good at mining and alchemy, and make stuff." But, I don't know what "stuff" is. I don't know exactly what skills and tools I need to learn. Skill & tool descriptions aren't descriptive enough for me to make an educated guess about which are the right ones. (For example, I purchased an alchemal toolkit, thinking that it would allow me to do alchemy, but it was, of course, an empty box)
Or, I'd love to "grow lots of food and cook yummy stuff". I know I need to learn LGT and Cooking, but I'm not sure exactly where to go from there. "Discovering" recipes, drinks, etc. is really cumbersome and it's hard to have a concrete goal in mind.
Therefore, I just end up sticking to the quests, hoping that they'll move me forward in some interesting direction. But, as far as I can tell, the focus of the quests is a "broad" skill knowledge. I'd rather spend my time going deep on 1 or 2 skills that combine interestingly together.
Anyway, I love the game, but I find myself aimlessly wandering around trying to do random things to earn mood/energy/currants so that I can play. I'd much rather be focused, and have some better input/control into which quests are presented to me. Almost like a "choose your character class" but of course, something quite a bit softer than that.
