Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback CharGen: explain skill proficiency sources

For instance, when you pick Githyanki, you get to select a "base skill" in addition to your skill proficiencies, this isn't described on the Race page.
Also in the Skills view, the skill proficiencies you gain from your background are of course preselected and can't be un-selected, but here as well the tooltip should maybe remind the player that these come from your background.

This.
As an avid D&D player, I was kind of struggling to get a good track of where my proficiencies were showing up and such. I think the list on the right, as it stands now, is very unclear and tons of information are just there without context (like, the skills you are proficient in, but without having explained to newcomers what proficiency stands for and why it is important for them to carefully pick those).

Overall, I thought DOS2 character menu was better in the way that you didn't have big information dumps like in BG3. Take the ranger for example : the text gets pretty packed on the right side of the menu with the favored enemy and the terrain. Pretty confusing for a newcomer I guess.

Perhaps it should be presented in a better way, but I want as much of skill/class/ability explanations and rules surrounding them easily presented as possible. Would be so cool to have a "Players Handbook" and a "Monsters Handbook" to flip and search through where you can learn more about your class, the Forgotten Realms and other pieces of lore.

skills are not treated well, character sheet doesn't keep me informed about skills and character creation doesn't explain what each skill really means. Similar issues are there in other areas, and we need the combat log too. There's so much stats that we would love to see.
