I dont understand how so many castles can be so poorly designed

Some of the castles in this game are so profoundly poorly designed that it almost seems like they are deliberately designed to favour attackers. I can buy the idea that some cities could have bad defenses to accomadate the organic growth of the town or whatever, but the idea that a castle, something built from the ground up to be a defensible strong point, would be so profoundly awful, is just a fucking absurdity I just got Melion castle and had to defend it against what should have been an easy siege defence and holy shit it it ever fucking awful. Not only does it have terrible defensible choke points, but the choke points it does have are seemingly deliberately cluttered with obstructions and full on buildings for reasons i cant really understand so you cant even actually use them. This castle is straight up a liability to the point where it would probably b3 better to fight the battle in the field Im genuinely confused as to what the design philosophy is for castles in this this g...

I feel like there's a ton of skills in the game that just don't matter until its "too late"

The issue I have with some skills in this game is that there's a significant amount of abilities in the game that are cool on the surface, but they don't actually become useful till they're much higher level. After you've invested a ton of hours into the game already. Roguery, Charm, Engineering, and even trade. It's like "Here, do these 4 actions thousands of times to get that one trait that can actually impact the game. But you've already been playing for 100 hours so it doesn't really have that big of an impact". Like I decided to try to do a roguery build. There's sooo many abilities in the late tree that would be useful right now. But i know that if I keep grinding it, my character will be at a point in terms of his other skills, clan level, etc that it wont have nearly as large of an impact. Maybe it's just me, but I always end up speeding up some major skills leveling so I can actually build a character around them. Instead of that weird situation where you level something up and by the time its high enough, you've already got a large army and castles.
