Oh, yes. The mindreads. The useful as well as the not-useful ones.
What was bad in Divinity 2, though: If you entered the first town and mindread everyone, you had a massive xp-debt so it became hard/annoying to level up enough beyond level 1 to fight the enemies.
Apart from that (and later in the game when xp did not really matter anymore) it was all perfect.
Keep the mindreads in, please.
Don't forget you don't need to mindread every NPC right away at level 1
I personally start only mindreading the NPC's I can trade with (mostly they lowered their prize!) and a few other ones ... but I wait with the other mindreadings and then it all goes well

.
Short : I distribute all mindreads over many levels ...
apart from some mindreads I think/know/feel I've only ONE change to do the mindread (like with Talana !).
