Will be unlocked in different ways. Players will be extrinsically motivated to explore different areas of the game. For example;

 We will have combat skills obtainable by completing Arena Levels. By having the player complete a combat centric level to obtain more options for combat is a nice positive feedback loop which feels rewarding and refreshing towards the player. 

Movement skills will be obtainable by movement heavy levels. Players will be challenged on a mechanical level, while also being introduced to the new mechanic in an environment that is built around it. This therefore serves as a tutorial and a reward.
