#166, "this advice is generally accurate but I'll add to it"


          

You can, if you wish, perfect every skill. That said, perfecting every skill requires an investment of your time.

You have to decide whether that investment pays off. I would argue that you will become a better player if you don't bother perfecting skills at first because you can use that time learning:

tactics - by fighting a lot (even though you'll die a lot)
the world - eg where to find useful equipment, how to use the terrain to suit you etc.

When you delete a character, those 100%'s are gone. They might have benefitted you by helping to keep you alive to learn other things, but I myself believe that area knowledge and tactics do this better than 100%s.

When you have the area knowledge and tactics, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether you personally consider it worthwhile spending time perfecting skills. Some do, some don't. I would say though that 100% parry with a bad choice of weapon will probably be less effective than 80% parry with the optimum choice of weapon.
