I'm super-excited about this! I do understand why they implemented the stat budgeting system but coupled with the many layers of RNG, it just didn't work how they thought it may have.
Basically Loot 2.0 by the looks of it.
Kinda makes me less excited for Episode 3 :D
For clarity, as I said multiple times in the show, these are changes coming in an unannounced update after Episode 3.
