Would be awesome if they just removed the doubling of Attribute points and Skill points. I think that is completely unnecessary, and it's ultimately the problem with lone wolf. 30% to your defensive skills could also be made into 20% and +2AP could also be made into +1AP.

Keep in mind, these changes would still keep the game relatively trivial for an experienced player, but would make a hell of a tough run for a blind playthrough.
