Skills. (Skill Slots)
Let's talk about them for a sec.
There are 4 types of skills in the game :

1. Weapon type specific skills
For example
Hammers have the Ground Smash Attack
Spears have pole jump& knockback
Striker balls Have the Re-Call functions
Cannons have the Punch

2. Boss / Special Offensive Skills (Mother treeks - mother of metushalah)
,........................................................,.........................................
3. General world skills(Passive -like-skills (Crit chance , Banana , self slap ect. )
,........................................................,...........................,..........
4. Defensive skills - PARRY

ALL OF THESE FIGHT FOR 1 SKILL SLOT .


Argument #1
Having less functions makes the gameplay more boring and more repetitive

Argument #2
Having only 1 skill slot hinders build diversity and makes everybody use just the most powerful skill

Argument #3
Completely different functions should not compete for the same button.
same as you wouldn't need to replace your light attack or need to replace your Dodge for another function

Argument #4
Some of the weapons specific skills are basic and fundamental to the playstyle of that specific weapon

Argument #5
There are many unused buttons on the controller

Argument 6#
Replayability - the game is all about replayability -
Having multiple skill slots allows you to mix and match skills essestially creating far more possibilities for gameplay style and thus creating more replay value

Argument 7#
Progression -
Having swapable skills means you'd unlock new skills when progressing through the game. This single thing lets you have a sense of accomplishment & progression as you defeat enemies and gather new abilities

Argument #8
Some mechanics like Parry are fundamental and should not be locked to a specific weapon

Yesss pleaseee .
I also think honestly if you take a look at cat quest 2-
You can have the D pad for potions and other functions
While having RB , LB , RT & LT being all skill slots. But thats hopeful thinking .

I also think that there are 2 very distinct weapon categories - spear & hammer
And then Cannon & striker

One being more 'regular' and the other more ' exotic'

That being said most players would pick spear / hanmer . although - if you could equip *2* weapons . that changes things

D pad up- switch weapons
And then have a 2nd weapon on a hunt - that could also half solve the skill issue , cuz if the games stays just the way it is , but you have 2 weapons , you coukd toggle between 2 skills essentialy

Yes, I think using more skills could add to the fun and also to the thinking and strategising aspects. Also it could make the gameplay much more versatile!
