Character progression as a whole is busted, and it was only slightly better in the previous game.
The whole system is done without a higher concept in mind, it's functional and contains what you'd expect from an RPG, but that's about it.
I do feel like you don't really progress much in Act 2 in terms of skills and stuff.
Like you get majority of the skills in Act 1 and the few in Act 2 and after that you're not really getting anything else. In the previous game you put points in to get more skills, 6 novice and more adept and etc, now you don't really have anything to work towards when you hit Act 2. (maybe it picks up again later, idk since im not done with the game, but just my thoughts so far).
