So yesterday I learned I am a complete smurfing idiot who doesn’t understand proficiencies. I kept wondering why my climbing is still level zero when Sif’s survival attribute is at level two. Only then did I learn proficiencies work like spells, as in you buy them for specific characters, not for your party in general. So I realized I wasted thousands on buying Hawke all the proficiencies I could get my hands on in the hopes that I’d be ready for anything - now most of them will be unusable since he won’t learn all the attributes so I’ve basically thrown away a bunch of cash.

Sigh
