That's cute
Deus Ex is a role playing game. The system is meant to facilitate role playing. That's not a player investment system.
Powering up your character =! player investment system.
This is patently bullshit.
Levelling up an in-game skill like lock-picking has sod all to do with role-play. It's a player investment system, just like levelling up the ability to use a sniper rifle (theoretically) is. A player could choose to invest in seeking out locks to pick, or they could choose to invest their efforts elsewhere. It's the same basic premise whether it's in Deus Ex or Destiny.
At this point, you're a broken record, Cody. Please, either move on or shut the hell up.
