My general rule of suggestions: Never suggest "Do it better", it just isn't helpful
- reasonable reward for skill 5
- more readable talent list
- easier to get for new players
All of these for example are just "do it better"
- do not close opportunities for enthusiast character builders
- interesting consequences like you cant get level 5 Fire skill if you Ice King already.
Ignoring the contradiction my thoughts on this are three fold
1) Players will ALWAYS denounce anything that limits their choices even when it is to the benefit of the game.
2) It is kind of arbitrary to lock out skills due to thematic similarities when they aren't binary opposites in game.
3) Contradiction much? :P

Don't get me wrong, good attempt.
