So what if other players don't come to the forums? There's nothing to be known as "wrong" in that regard because it's not "wrong", it's a choice. No need for Larian to force the choice on anyone just because a few like yourself are throwing a hissy fit over it. In that same regard, statistically most players never play more than one playthrough(actually most never finish one playthrough), wouldn't run out of their way to unlock it at lever 3 or 4, wouldn't know the books restock after every level up and naturally the teller of secrets wouldn't even likely be unlocked until level 10+ as it only unlocks after finding the 5th star stone.
So why don't you get lost with your garbage? Don't like it? Don't use it, simple as that.
Players that do not come to the forum won't stealth to the Teller of Secrets With L3, it is extremely unlike that something like this might happen. If you don't read the internet.
