No arguments from me there.
Gets even worse if quizzies unique skills are added. At the very least they should have been kept separate from the 8 ability restriction.
Exactly. Last playthrough this happened:
Okay, I'll be a Tempest Archer. I should probably use all 4 Archer abilities. Cool. Half the slots are gone.
Well, I'll take stealth too, that's pretty important for a rogue. 3 left.
Hey, I got a focus ability! 2 left.
I'm a Tempest, yay! Well, I only get one spec, so I want to use all 3 flasks. Oh... I can't? Well... I guess since I'm on casual I'll give up the focus ability. I guess all those focus weapons, belts and masterworks are useless to me now.
Hey, a new ability in Jaws of Hakkon? Awesome! Or, you know, not, because I have to give up a flask or stealth.
Basically, you only have enough slots for the basic Archer abilities, stealth, and your spec abilities. Nothing else! Not even a focus ability? What the hell, that's so boring!
