Personal interests, skills and jobs rarely match

[Fluffy_Dupe]

Hey guys!

First: I love the game and the way you frequently bring updates and new content!

I really dig the new job system, however there is one thing I find just slightly annoying: the personal interests and the starting skills seldom match. So you are left with the decision whether to assing the dupe with high skill or with interest in the respective field to the job, which - either way - feels unsatisfying. Ofc you could roll until you to get them to match but then ther problem persists with new dupes. I might be nitpicking here but imho it'd be much more enjoyable and clear if for example one interest always matches one of their higher starting skills, so the job you're going to assign makes you as happy as them

Maybe I'm just not far enough into this new update to fully get the concept but maybe it is something worthwhile to consider. The jobs are very cool (and the hats supercute  ) but holding on to assigning jobs because you don't have dupes with the skill or interest (in the beginning of the game) feels odd.

Hope this is somewhat helpful or someone can clarify this issue for me. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

I studied law and engineering.

Now tell me about skills and job interests not matching

I'm getting tired of this suggestion, people have been asking for it repeatedly and it's a bad idea.  First off they DO match more then random chance alone would lead too, but they do not ALWAYS match and that's as it should be.  The randomness of dupes is part of the challenge of the game and the challenge of picking them.  If skills and interest always matched the diversity of dupes would be lower which is bad, and deciding what jobs to assign would be TRIVIAL.  Deal with your dupes the way you deal with the randomly generated map, weight the costs and benefits and experiment, that is the SOUL of any strategy game.

If people are asking for it repeatedly, there must be something to it, doesn't it?

But I get your point.. If I just agree on assigning jobs by interest, not the current skill lvl (because the 50% will matter more in the long run?!), I'm happy with that.
