Hmm. I've read lots of posts that suggest that you're likely in for trouble if you don't take certain magic skills and put points into int.
However, what about people wanting to play a more pure melee warrior build? Are they destined to be weak without putting points in skills and stats they generally would steer clear of (magic skills and the int stat)? A traditional warrior build would be pumping stat points into STR and VIT, leaving the INT pretty much alone, and selecting melee based combat skills as opposed to magic. Is that a really bad idea in this game?
