Woah! I feel like this thread is getting seriously derailed. Can we get back to talking about the two main points of hybrid chars and spells books etc?
I know people have beef with each other and of course anyone can express that. I felt some of the replies to what I said were also unfair and/or narrow-minded but there was plenty of people who didn't respond that way.
Just my two cents. I know things need to be resolved, I just didn't want the thread to get too zany.
Just because my char wants to be a fire mage does not mean that the world and the skill vendors should make this an easy path. If my char cant find fire spells, then they will have to search harder or re-evaluate their path.
This is absurd. Re-evaluate their path? Skillpoints are permanently assigned. If you're okay with wasting a bunch of skill points, then okay. But I'm not. The game's systems should function together in a coherent and sensible way. Which means if I put points into pyro, then I should be able to buy the fire spells for my character that I want/need. Not being able to do so (which sometimes happens as a result of the excessive vendor randomness) means the system is broken in some fashion.
I don't want things "handed to me on a silver platter" as one or two people have accused, I just want to be able to use the skills my character has acquired via my choices. This doesn't some unreasonable in any way.
I think we already have to search hard enough. You have to run all over town to different people to buy different things. This I actually enjoy, but more of it would be tedious.
