Ok, first of all, my girlfriend left. She doesn't like the game, she says there's too much to read...
Even though most dialoge is fully voice-acted? My co-op partner don't like reading long texts in games either, but we get by with me reading (I like it) and summarizing it for her. In contrast, she likes in-game cooking more than I do, so I leave that to her. You both may have made a similar agreement.
Besides, you don't
have to read everything the game offers you. If you only read the absolute minimum, you'll just miss the occational hint about abilities, quests, or the world you're playing in.
Second.. Taking away skills from my main, makes me rather dull as a character. I don't want to only be a pew pew shooter. What shall I do while out of combat? That's the reason I try to set some personality or crafting skill on him.
I just wanted to warn you of spreading out your abilities too thin. What use is pickpocketing, lockpicking, crafting, and blacksmithing along with some combat and magic abilities if you fail all the time because you can't afford higher ranks in them?
You should at least do some calculation beforehand. If you already did that, my concerns are negligible. Don't forget that you have 2-4 characters
you control, so the in-game "you" is not just one of the two main characters, though.
Yesterday evening I went up to the king crab inn and took Madora. But in all this, I almost did nothing. It was the mage the burned almost all the enemies. I failed a lot of shots
Again, don't judge your character's effectiveness on the first hours of the game. Every class gets more versatile with their growing number of skills. And don't forget UnderworldHades' remarks about mages getting less efficient in mid to late game because of the enemies' increased elemental resistances.
I don't talk since I have know-it-all on me, so what role shall this character have if not being a buff-debuff with some utility out of combat?
I didn't argue against
some non-combat utility, but against
too much for your ability points.
