Just unseparate the perks. Let players pick 2 perks from 1 large list instead of 1 each from 2 separate lists. This solves a ton of problems players are having with balance, and it opens up more possible combinations, which is more customization for us. It would finally allow many classes to pick both a shield and a spear at the same time. It would also instantly help Khuzait Infantry not be stuck between having no throwing spears (the thing that actually makes it a viable class) or having no melee weapon.
Its a change that would require virtually no rebalancing. The only perks in the game which conflict are the cav classes which have 2 separate horse perks. They can easily be changed without changing the class in any meaningful way. It would not change the philosophy regarding perks at all. You are still choosing 2 class based options and leaving 4 on the table. The opportunity cost and tradeoffs are still there.
It also would not conflict with Taleworlds future plans. I dont know if Taleworlds is planning to add a 3rd perk, but you can easily do so in the new system. Just add 3 more perks and an option to choose a 3rd from the large list.
I dont see a downside to this. If Taleworlds has gone over this and decided that there is one, please tell me what it is.
