Not really. It sounds like you just have to wait longer to "level up", but really, you already start stronger. I don't see how that's a detriment... just the beginning will be boring because you're already strong and have to wait to get stronger. Also, the idea of having to randomly find pools to increase my character's attributes is... well it takes away any choice. That's terrible. Either that, or you have to find all the pools and then wait to drink any of them, and then back track to make sure you're drinking for the one that's ideal for your character. I dunno... Feels convoluted. Sorry, I don't think this is a game for me. Thanks for the feedback though.
