I'd like to see intelligence affect things like being able to read books and scrolls, and affect dialog options (better choices with high intelligence)
That's an interesting idea, and one that would be very realistic (i.e if some very unintelligent Warrior character tries to debate with a learned scholar, doesn't get anything out of it but if an intelligent Wizard character debates with the same guy, manages to outwit him and get a free skillpoint in a certain skill).
