Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 9176721" data-attributes="member: 177">Quoting your OP, emphasis mine:"An ability you will get, even at a level you will never reach, affects the current play experience. You know that at some point you WILL have a particular ability."If you said, "An ability I will get..." you'd be speaking of your own experience.But, every time "you" appears, the reader is being told what their experience would be without exception.  There is no space in this phrasing for alternatives - it is presented as an absolute.  That may not be what you meant, but it is what is present in the sentence you wrote. There are other constructions that can do similar things without telling the reader what will happen to them, and without the (unsupported) implication that this is a universal experience:"For some/many folks, an ability they will get, even at a level they will never reach, can affect the current play experience."  That is vague, and still unsupported, but the reader can at least take it that they aren't part of the "some/many".</blockquote>
