I'll confess that after completing the demo a few times, I'm still not particularly excited about the new skill system. I dislike having to "open" a skill area through training, only to discover that I still can't use the skill until I put precious points into it.
And having playing for a few hours with the retail version of the game, I must say I don't like it at all. I do not feel any progress leveling my chars and I'm affraid to use the skills because I just do not know what will be needed.
Right now I just focused 1HS and 2HS for the DK and fireball 5/detect traps 2 (damn citadel traps)/self-heal 1 for Zero (my "hero"). Having a "low" 31 int, my caster just use it's poker to fight (Magic is too weak and too expensive).
If I had to ever play again (I don't want to, never, ever) I would build two warriors with one pickpocked and one detect trap specialisation (one for each)
I guess player with that combo would enjoy the game better.
Actually, I don't think I will play again with BD at all if it stays like that. I just don't feel the same fun as in DD. That's a shame because I liked DD so much.
