I was really excited at the prospect of having an artifact that granted perks. It seemed like a really cool idea, and it appeared at first like there were perk “paths” similar to skill trees in D1. When I found out that it’s just a UI screen used to unlock mods I was really disappointed. I was even more disappointed to learn that these mods have to be slotted into mod slots on armor/weapons, and they will use a significant amount of “energy” which will really restrict the way we build our characters. Essentially, instead of getting more powerful we’ll be forced to choose between cool/novelty perks or practical perks and extra stat points. Also, I already know that my current armor is stronger than armor 2.0. I’ve seen the cost of enhanced perks and there’s no way I can replicate my builds or even come close. Why would I switch to an inferior armor set? I understand I haven’t even played with this system yet. It might be fine. I’m just sharing feedback that it’s not as exciting as it first appeared.
