Question about the free archetype optional rule (lemmy.ca)

I've noticed that many archetypes with a level 2 dedication feat simply don't have any level 4 feats. How does this work with the free archetype variant rule? Do you just discard the bonus feat slot at level 4? Also, does playing with this variant rule essentially make it impossible to take a level 4 dedication feat at level 4?

~~You can still take a feat from your regular class at level 4, you don’t need to exclusively pick feats from your archetype once you have its dedication.~~ I was wrong on that, I forgot that you get more free feats as you progress with your free archetype

There’s also nothing stopping you from picking any level 2 feat you’re eligible for at level 4, same goes for dedications. The feat level is really just a minimum level requirement.

No. Feat from free archetype has to be from its dedication and it cannot be skill feat. And unless the GM says otherwise, normally level 4 dedication can't be taken with free archetype at level 2 or 4 (level 6 is possible since in certain dedication you can get 2 feat in level 4).
