Yeah, the resetting of talents and combat abilities is more or less game breaking. I can no longer put my customized NPCs in the scenes as they will be reset next time I load up the game:(

For now I must keep all NPCs in the creatures panel, have their reset versions in the scenes, and when the party comes near, pause and switch them all out from the panel. And of course say, "hey guys, if you examined the NPCs, do it again, now they are correct".

Not very helpful for the game flow or RPG feeling.
