Some of these roads can cover a great distance much quicker than if the player detours through the suburbs: what may look like a short path with passive boosts could in fact be much longer than taking the +10 to attribute path. The pathways between these clusters, comprised entirely of nodes that give +10 to a certain attribute, are like roads. These will form the bulk of a character's build. The clusters of related passive nodes that boost a specific area ( swords, maces, archery, damage types, evasion, and so on) are like suburbs. It can be thought of as a map, with suburbs and roads. While the passive tree (sometimes referred to in-game as the Skilldrasil or Skill Web) may seem complicated, it actually only has two parts. Players that choose the Scion as their character may also gain up to 5 additional passive skill points, depending on the choices they make in their Ascendancy.
