Well I would say yes,but I can imagine others might have a different opinion,so let me explain.
A couple of overpowered skills for us to discover has some benifits but no real drawbacks.
If you don't want to use them ,just don't.I read countless times on this forum how people stated that they don't use scorpions or frost on a weapon.So we're fine there.
The only problem would be in player versus player combat,but that's not exactly on the horizon.
And if Larian does develop it they can always change or even disable some skills.Happens all the time in other multiplayer games.
So which benefits do I see in singleplayer?
First of all they are an exciting discovery the first time you play the game.
Secondly they are a blessing for more casual players who don't read these forums,made some less than ideal skill choiches and consider not playing on when they get frustrated.
Lastly for those who do like to use those skills,well they are there for them.
As an example,last time I role-played it like this:I did not use my frost-sword before the wastelands.At that point fighting with it really gave me the feeling that I had become "the divine one"
