On skill point changes harming connection to dupes

[theprophecy]

Prior to the skill changes in QoL3, you felt at least something toward some of your dupes. Some of them were special; you nurtured along one or two astronauts, a couple of super miners, and treated them the best. They were the first to get comfy beds, special food, they got the neural vacillator charges, etc.

As of QoL3, every dupe is the same. There is no longer any emotional connection whatsoever to the dupes.

There are so many skill points now, for one thing, so there's no reason not to give every dupe everything. Additionally, Exosuit Wearing is part of the tree - not a separate, expensive item - so most everyone has to be specced the same way just to get that skill.

I recognize the skill system before QoL3 was limited in scope, and you wanted to make it bigger. But you've removed all emotional attachment, however little it was, as a side effect. To misquote the Incredibles: when everyone is special, no one is.
