talent tree

Ability unlock system

A talent tree is a character progression system in video games where players unlock abilities by spending points along branching paths, visually resembling a tree structure.

Each branch typically represents a different specialization or playstyle: I put all my points into the fire talent tree.

The system forces meaningful choices, as players usually can't unlock everything.
