I actually think Escapist is incredibly underrated, though it'd be pretty tedious to really fully take advantage of it. A rogue (or any class, really) could conceivably escape when in a bad position and rejoin the fight all healed and buffed and whatnot. As many times as they want. You could build a whole escape party where people are just constantly running away when they're low on health and rejoining. Unless you can only escape a fight once, or something, but even a single escape can change a fight. In theory, it's actually an obscenely overpowered talent and it's funny that people think it's the worst talent in the game (as I used to, but I've come to realize its potential.)
But still, I'm going to give Wolgraff Swift Footed and Avoid Opportunists (now a rogue talent) instead of Light Stepper and Escapist in my mod. Also gave him another point in dexterity to start.
Have to agree also that the camera feels ultra zoomed in. Really annoying. Maybe I can change that once the editor comes out.
