Is wisdom skill even worth to take

I have it, it`s allways nice get something extra to pay for the mindread.

Well, I did count things a bit and looks like withing a whole game I've got like +1 bonus level thanks to Wisdom. That's all.

I think it's a waste really. Just like points in mindread. The skill points are much better spent on things that make you stronger.

Actually, closer I am to end of game, I think that even +10 to wisdom isn´t bad at all.. not mentioning mindreading which I use a lot! And lockpick is must!

Being stronger.. lol, you can play most of game without any skills needed. Well, if you know how.. And cause higher lvl = easier game.. its not waste. I´ll try it with full wisdom/mindread next time.. well, when English version hit shelves.. 1.1 aint bad, but I liked improvements in 1.2 .. and don´t like playing whole game in German.. even if I can.

You get one skill point per level increase. The mild rebate you get from mindreading skill is not worth wasting 5 whole levels on. The same with wisdom. It might net you one extra level, at most, while you've wasted several levels worth of skill points on it.

Mindread itself is very useful. It's just the rebate that's useless.

But hey, you want to play ineffectively - more power to you

Not sure if you played whole game. Than you´ll understand me more I think. Yea, btw. lvl 5 aint max..

I played and finished the entire game

At no point did I feel Mindread rebates would have helped much. If anything, the few XP you spend easily was recouped by the skill and stat points earned.

As for wisdom, it's so little you get that a few extra kills easily would make up the difference. You can spend more than lvl5 on wisdom? Wow, what an incredible waste of skill points. I only raised my damage skills above level 10.
