@Daft :
I like your playstyle and how you "see and act" this game

.
A ranger is indeed very nice to play with. One of my fav Skill is Ranger Stealth.
Have you ever played Divine Divnity as a Ranger? I mean, "using frequently/mostly a Bow"? I can say it's really great

!
For me the Dragon knight Saga have also many strategic acts (like you said to choose Skill on a smart way) ! I love that. I Search very carefully in each game and take patiently my time, relaxed gaming &
on the same time I have intense feelings as if the game is reality (for that moment) !
In fact, all Divinity games (and other rpg's!)
I play/see them as
a role playing, puzzle & strategic adventures
