Anyway, if I follow your stand point that you have 7 talents at lvl 28 or 6 really because we can both agree on the fact that mnemonic will be taken sooner or later for good reason, you also have to understand that at lvl 28, you're at the end of the game....so the 7th talent, you're not really going to play with... which lead me to say that for the general part of the game you would have an average of 3 talent's that you would have chosen and be playing with...
6 divide by 2...for equal playtime....
I did not agree with you that Mnemonic WILL be taken sooner or later. That will depend on a lot of things. Don't put words in my mouth.
No, I won't eliminate the level 28 Talent as being irrelevant. It will be a lower priority, but still useful. That's why you spend it. If there's nothing appealing to spend it on, you won't take it and leave the Talent point unspent.
You are not making any sense with your "average of 3 Talents" stuff. You will have 3 Talents by level 8, the end of Fort Joy, which is 25% of the game by Map and slightly more than 25% of the game considering maximum player level. That's close to 75% of the game with 3 Talents or more.
On the other end, if after 10 lvl, I already have my 7 talents + my starting talent etc....this would mean I would play a big part of the game with a good amount of talent which would round up my character....so that would be fine too...
Really? Why stop there? I mean if you start out on the beach with all 7 Talent points, you can play 100% of the game with all your chosen Talents. By your logic, that should be better, right?
The worth of Talents is NOT based
purely on the amount of time your character gets to use them. Talents are about specializing your character in certain areas. The worth of a Talent is "what would be most helpful to my build RIGHT NOW". It's about priorities. A "Level 28" Talent to your build might be another build's "Level 4" Talent.
I had my starting talent point where I left as is, and I had to chose once one talent point when I got to lvl 5 I think....all characters got mnemonic and that's it, I haven't use anything else yet....and 25% of the game is completed...and you're telling me that you want more talents?!
I took Mnemonic once at level 1. That was silly since I couldn't afford the extra Skills that early anyway. If you are so interested in min-maxing your amount of skills that Mnemonic is a must-have at level 4, that's your problem, not a problem with the game. You want to use different Talents? Then. Pick. Different. Talents.
The game needs more Talents, yes, but there are not so few decent ones that at level 4 I throw up my hands and go "the only good one is Mnemonic". There are a lot of Talents which can provide very useful boosts and help, and are more interesting than +3 Memory.
You have to understand, i'm not going to pick something for the sake of "roleplaying" my character, I am going to pick something because it is beneficial to my character so the game must give me more beneficial options at my disposal for me to pond my options on what I should be taking.....right now it's not the case...
I am also picking things which are beneficial to my character. Your mistake is assuming that picking things beneficial to your character and roleplaying are mutually exclusive. They are not.
