AVault: NOLF 2 introduced a skill system for Cate. Will Contract Jack use or expand on this system? Craig Hubbard: We wrestled with how to include the skill system - but ultimately realized it just doesn't fit. Skills like stealth and searching weren't applicable anymore - and the others tended to make the early levels frustrating. It's one thing to have a skill affecting your accuracy in a stealth-oriented game - but most players blame the game for their failures when they spend a lot of time shooting.
