And don't forget that a lot of RPG players are number crushers, that LOVE to fine tune their characters (I am definitely not one of them...) to some crazy détails.
What kind of fine tuning is there. one ability point and one talent point ? I can't believe the amount of talent points went from 2 to 1 in last patch "just to make choice harder", gimme a break...
And you put a point in "talking to animals", and all of a sudden, you can talk to animals ?
Come on Larian, all those talents/perks/whatever the name are great quest opportunities, don't miss them. Like going to speak to a "druid", and having to perform a quest for him in exchange of the perk, would make more sense than "go find something to do to those three stupid lazy sailors that can't move their lazy asses and do something" quest).
Bullshits, bullshits, bullshits.
This is what you used to do in DD and BD.
