I think trivializing the ability points is the wrong direction. I think the idea is rather to make the ability points feel more prominent and important. A slight increase the effectiveness of a single point at the cost of reducing how many points you get would accomplish a lot more toward getting them where I'd like to see them.
We only get two points now, and apparently they are not very effective, so a "slight" increase would not help much even before you reduce the number of points.
In D:OS 1, all attributes started at the base of 5, and you got 0.5 attribute points per level.
In D:OS 2, all attributes start at the base of 10. That's already cutting the relative power of them from D:OS 1 in half. The 2 attribute points per level is roughly equivalent to getting 1 D:OS 1 point per level. That's only a slight increase in attribute value per level compared to D:OS 1.
In any event, even leaving the amount of points you get per level at 2 seems to be low considering that you have primary, secondary, AND Memory attributes to consider.
