Exactly! Our characters are "too good" to play early content. To be fair, the developers did notice and they've alleviated that issue. The unlock range for cards and storylets has widened. Some have no attribute cap to lock players out (Pickpocket's Promenade). When they introduced the Cobblestone Rogues and Back-Alley Saints storylines (Pianist & Spirifer, Last Constable & Cheery Man), they gave advanced players an option at their Lodgings to access them with 10 Intriguing (or is it Incendiary?) Gossip.

I'm really enjoying replaying the early content with my newest alt. I'm spotting so much foreshadowing, clues and answers that are hidden in plain sight! I can only fully appreciate the early text in hindsight. When I started the game last year, all these interesting things were happening to my character, but I had no idea of their importance till now...rereading/playing everything several months later.
