Me always wanting to build all-rounders.

Realising that while I love art I should have becom an accountant, I'm good with computers and automation, could have made bank with very little effort.

Apparently I was supposed to get a million dollar loan from my parents? I didn't ask at the end of the tutorial and now I think the game just skipped that part.

The Rich Asshole class is OP honestly, hopefully they nerf it soon

Doubtful, the devs' kids wouldn't allow it.

So long as your bad choices don't cause gamebreaking bugs, you can often acquire enough skill points to max out most skill trees

All those times I hated Humanities and Social Studies, I've never truly appreciated how useful those would be for me in the upcoming years.

The devs of Real Life™ really fucked up by not having a respec mechanic. Fortunately modders should be able to fill the gap once they figure out brain-computer interfaces and genetic engineering.

Some amount of respeccing is possible, but it takes a lot of time and experience points – and characters with the Force of Habit trait are locked out of this respeccing mechanic, so their players’ only option is to delete their character once the game stops being fun…

Honestly, I'm doubtful those are the answers. Most of the cybernetic enhancements to your brain would be be inferior to making your organic brain work better. The ones that are superior would be upgrades instead of respecs. Genetic engineering wouldn't be a respec as much as a redo of a bad dice roll for base stats. Many of the mistakes you make in your early life through choices can be solved by medicine healing injuries, extending life for more time to relearn, or by creating societal systems that allow people to right their wrongs.

Like how I spent my childhood reading books and hating math class and then decided I wanted to be an engineer?

Fucking calculus
