On the flipside, nothing in these games was worse than knowing what type of charm you wanted for the skill set you were going for and being unable to get it or having to game the system to get certain charms.I'm of two minds about the Charms thing. It sounds nice at first glance to enhance your sets, and will be a great change for everyone that used to mindlessly grind for charms. I did not do that however. I'd instead adapt my sets to the sweet charms I did find. This made me mix things up and experiment. Without the element of randomisation, I fear I'm just going to home in on something really quickly, and not bother deviating from it.
Nothing is stopping you from experimenting, either. Now that you can make your own charms it's easier to access a variety of builds, rather than having one charm you sorta like and a chest full of charms with gunner skills that you'll never use.
