You know I wouldn't mind a different type of talent system where your talents are assigned based on the skills and level of skills you have chosen. I.e, your talents are a composite of your skills. Once your combination of skills reach the appropraite level the talent is unlocked and assigned.
That actually seems more like how Traits work - or at least how they were conjectured as working back when the Kickstarter days were going on. But since Larian decided to go for trait pairs, it's not possible to do any Traits which aren't paired.
I certainly wouldn't mind if Talents and Skills had a combination system, so you could use, for example, Phoenix Dive with either rank 3 in Pyromancer, OR rank 3 in Warrior. Or if you couldn't learn the Flamenado skill without Rank 3 in BOTH Pyromanecr AND Aerothurge. But that sort of stuff seems more like it'll have to be in the next game, not D:OS.
