Reset self

Any value in a 'Reset Self' button during testing (or maybe beyond)? Sometimes you want to try a different approach, or experiment with a part of the game from scratch again. The ability to 'reset' yourself outside of a normal game reset might be useful -- I know I'd use it from time to time.

I've played games before where a 'self reset' was part of the normal game play. For players who'd reached a reasonably high level they could opt to reset to the start and play again. Sometimes they could opt to take a special 'resetter' type stuff that conferred either 'non-game-advantage' coolness (like hidden wardrobe or vanity items, a trophy etc.).

  • Yes that would be useful. I'd actually like to see the ability to have multiple characters for that reason, because sometimes I'd like to try a different approach, but without necessarily losing my old one. But yes, just a plain reset would be nice too.

  • other than energy and mood pools levels here dont really do alot so far, and I dont see much point in a personal reset button for skills why would you want to waste all those weeks just to start with a lower skill lvl. I can understand what you mean. and I have seen it in games before. but there isnt really any need for it here "imo" as there are no classes or much benifit of levels and such and you can learn all skills atleast when release is out. maybe for the testing it would be a good idea. but than again people would be testing what is the best / quickest way to do something rather than testing the game for bugs etc

  • Yes! +1 for this idea.

  • The devs have mentioned (and tried out) an "unlearning" process for skill trees -- just for this so the lower skills dont take so much time from the learning skills penalty. Though it doesn't reset levels or anything which I guess is a different problem.
