Trying to get back into this, and finally got a controller hooked up so it's for sure a million times better.
But I'm big dumb and I'm like ok getting into Heart of Stone, but nothing with my build has changed? Am I going through the next 2 DLCs with the same shit that I just spent 100 hours with? That sucks! but I don't want to spend time figuring out all the mutagen's, and alchemy build that I've had conversations here about before. So then I just don't play, and this cycle repeats over and over. I'm broken.
As far as I know, the game doesn't lead you towards the new shit. There's a quest for Enchanting I see, but otherwise, you have the freedom to do whatever you want. I guess I'd prefer I didn't even know about the other builds that become OP in the DLCs because then I wouldn't even worry about it. But now that I know about them, I can't stop wanting to change things up.
