Talk:Command/@comment-173.74.173.5-20150924034447

First of all, let me get this clear: Command is not the best item in the game.

There are many reasons why, but the first and foremost is the one that you probably cannot see all the time until it's too late: Command makes you biased. The premise of holding god-crushing choice power in your hands at every purchase is tempting, but the fact that you will keep choosing the items you want is dangerous. The game gives you so many random items for a reason: to be balanced. As the game keeps on throwing items at you, the balances become well-set, and you find your self attaining strengths you never knew you had, just because of that inconspicuous item at the left side of your inventory. But with command, you choose and choose, and soon enough, you have those oh-shit moments that you wouldn't have had if you had just chosen that one other item, and so on and so on. Not to mention that whenever you open the choice menu, you're completely invulnerable until you choose that item that you either took a bit of aim to get, or just panicked and randomly selected something. I think the developers are genius for adding weaknesses to Command, but I feel like I shouldn't be able to choose items that I haven't unlocked. Still feels unbalanced a bit.

The point is, Command isn't invincible, and if you think that way, you're on the slow, invisible spiral of doom.
