you are definitely not alone! [img]smile.gif[/img]
and its a very good point. i'm still learning. when i first picked up W8 and began playing, i was unfamiliar with so many things about it. esp interacting with the world.
i think i had played it for nearly a month before i realized just how much "merging" and "using" were done in this game. i HAD no idea what the merge button was for. even after the bridge thingie, i thot it was for that one thing and nothing else. only now am i beginning to see just HOW much "merge" is used.
the thing is, there aren't any clues. i can sit down and spend hours going thru everything my party owns trying to merge stuff, and then have to redo it all because what one person can't do, another can. (like alchemist/ranger vs gadgeteer!)
my notes are soooo long on that stuff. at least i realized that if it's possible but i don't have enough exp it will say "V***V cannot merge that at this time" as opposed to a blanket "these items cannot be merged".
it boggles me!
V***V
PS: that's the reason it becomes so much fun to try different parties.
it seems no matter how much i learn, when i return with that knowledge in a new party, i encounter tons more new stuff.
