Ace Dreamer Wrote:I'd suggest that when they first get to try skillsofts on non-catgirls they find that 20% of the human population have unfortunate reactions to them. In the simplest case "it's on the tip of my tongue' syndrome - you know the knowledge is there, but you can't quite recall it (until later), to the really nasty each skillsoft causes a multiple personality to coalesce around it.This could possibly also be modified as to whether someone is biomodded or not... and it would depend on the type of biomod. Some biomods it won't take at all... some it will seem to take successfully, but the skill fades completely even with heavy use in the grafting period. And some find that, pre-mod, they had one reaction, yet post-mod, they have a completely different reaction, although it's still not like most of the "baseline" installs.
Given more research and tuning, I'd suggest you clean this up so only 5% can't safely use skillsofts, and that you have a reliable way to recognise this group. In a further 5% they might have the problem that skillsofts don't 'stick' and fade after a few months; with enough research these could be identified, too.
For extra fun, say 5% of the population are 'skillsoft masters'. These have some major advantage in using skillsofts, so some problem others have either isn't there, or is far more minor, for them. Needing less training might be one example, as might integrating them with their own knowledge and experiences. I'd suggest there be, after research, a quick test to recognise these people.
These percentages are intended to match the way people handle skills and other things in the general population.
