What really bugs me is that the stats even within the normal limit of 10k before the tourney, are honestly only being used fairly well in the arena, and even there it feels iffy sometimes (though I have to say, just outclassing people in their specialty stat is pretty cool sometimes). Like for example the Ruo event when you are meditating.
You can choose to move the sword or even have a brief scuffle with him, but the stats checked in the code are not even close to being utilized to their full potential. Like the infamous, you punch him and it feels like steel is only a 7,5k strength check (which is already mental since Ruo is supposed to be Late Houtian for whom the limit is 5-7,5k I believe).
Like okay disregarding the obvious "but muh bonuses and stacked boosts", the check should be checking for the highest you can have at least naturally, since the alternative is Niki literally telling you even if you pass the check "You're not that guy pal, you're not that guy".
He rarely does do something that I like, which is doing a multi level stat check to basically determine how well you handle something, but that you can count on 2 hands.
