According to the report, "y'all won't be able to spend existent money on Perk Cards to unlock more than abilities, with the microtransaction organisation instead limited to cosmetics."

The free-to-play action game, Path of Exile, is a smashing model of microtransactions done right considering all you can buy are skins. GameSpot went on to say that "Hines suggested Bethesda volition be generous with Atoms." Hopefully information technology'll be easy to accumulate them and they won't feel like a grind.
