I have to imagine this type of analysis has been done already, seeing as I'm a bit late. But I couldn't really find anything here on the forums, so I figured I'd post....

Basically I did a fairly detailed breakdown/analysis of the weapon and armor selection screen and the weapon upgrade screen, perhaps I point out some things you missed?

Hmm, so I hadn't notice the extra inventory tab. I thought we were looking at Inventory!

That opens up the possibility of non combat items, consumables, crafting items, and more, fun stuff.

More importantly, the consequences of a per weapon upgrade path seem important. If I invest player skill points into my gun, then I trade it to a friend,do I get those back? Does my friend who gets the gun get it powered up? Are skill points limited, and can I respec my character if I don't like the guns I've buffed? IT does open up quite a bit of unique possibilities though, and an interesting way to customize your character beyond standard builds.

I would imagine that upgrades stay with the gun, as do the resources and talent points that went into it. I doubt talent points will be limited in terms of like an actually hard cap, it seems to me like they might be a form of skill point that you earn for using that class of weapon, or something along those lines.

I agree on both points.

Thanks for posting this BTW. I'll be sure to point friends who are looking for more detailed info to it.

Yeah with the virtually unlimited number of guns in the game I would imagine that the points will be able to earned forever. Otherwise getting a new gun would be pointless if you can't upgrade them.
