I didn't even see the readme hah. Where was it? It wasn't in the rar, didn't see it ingame or on the mod description. Went back to the nexus page and saw it there on the description. Normally I read those things but didn't this time for some reason. I didn't reload the game and my skills were all fine.
Organizing the pages that way is cleverer than I realized. I should think the numbers are a little cramped. Part of it has to do with the font, it's kind of fuzzy. Maybe you could change it to Trebuchet or something like that other guy did. Didn't notice 'Lou Scannon' hah. There's really a lot of nice details.
More spoil comments.
First I pissed off the guard. So THAT's what that vent is for.
So I didn't kill the rat. I had figured that was probably the wrong thing to do since killing both rats seemed like it'd be too simple. But then that leaves you stuck of course. I think a problem is that the fire spills inside the room a little bit, so you have to wait a while before you can go to the door and see the key. Maybe that's on purpose, but it definitely left me confused. Like, I wanted to ask the rat to get me the key, but I didn't know I had to see it first.
Once I got out, I loved the troll journal and essay. Was seriously annoyed by the discrepancy of the writing skill at first, but the last page of the journal totally explains it. Nice. Also the pen/journal thing was really clever. I'd make suggest you have something like "~~~" in the first line, and then "So then pen works." Just a little touch. Didn't really find anything else besides the buttons.
I used the spider's bucket and nothing happened. Not sure if I missed something...
