chud, i got news for ya bud - you can unlearn any skill you've learned,
it'll just cost you some of that cash you carry...the higher your characters level is - the more it will cost, but it's still managable. I've had to unlearn quite a few spells during the game,as i have found some of them worthless...Don't learn trading or lockpick - they do absolutely nothing, i've had both @ level 10 - the buy/sell prices haven't changed 1 bit, and i couldnt unlock a single door in the game with level 10 lockpick. I would say individual/party healing is quite useless as well, it takes a long time to cast
heal during the battle and worthy opponents will hit you 2-3 times while you do that,to eliminate the effects of your healing. Potions are much better, just cary enough of red ones with you - they can be drunk instantly, during the pause.
The things i'd recommend to learn are:
Survival talents->survival->wisdom - it boosts your experience gain during battles and i think completing quests too(not sure)
Shaman magic->weather magic->Lightning Storm - very effective spell, kills all creatues in sight with 1-2 blows at high levels (i had lvl 18)
Warrior->craftmanship->sharpen weapon - once i've learned what that does - i fell in love with the spell. It made my sword able to cause like 270-450 damage with 1 hit (and i hadn't even had the skill nowhere near high level). There wasn't a live or dead creature throughout the remaining of the game that could withstand 1 blow with that sharpened sword. The only problem is once you sharpen it - weapon usage requirements go higher as well - you may need like 45 agility to use it, so save before you try anything...And the best part is - once you sharpen everything you need - you can just unlearn the skill and have all those points available for other things <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And if you're worried about finishing the game...well, i don't wanna spoil it for you, but if you played DD and fought Josephina - BD's Damian fights like a virgin comparing to her... Cheers
