I got to play OS on a friends account, what can I say - its going to be a great game!

Some feedback:

1. Are starting skills placeholders? Seem too powerful.
2. Levling is really confusing, tutorial would help!
3. After casting a tornado, my mage starts levitating untill I cast something else.
4.my one and only save game(silly I know) got corrupted after ctd whilst trading with the mage.
5. Spells are not exlained in description so have to save and load to the try them.
6. Is auto replying of one of the characters still an option? Or do I have to reply for them both?
Enjoyed it overall!
