Proficiencies (Skills) Bug?

[Jaesten]

So I'm doing a new Character, a Tiefling Rogue, I get to the Background which has defaulted to Acolyte, and it tells me I have Acrobatics, Slight of Hand x2, Stealth x2, Religion, Insight, and finally Deception. I click off Acolyte and then back onto i and I now have Acrobatics x2, Stealth x2, Religion, Insight, Performance and Persuasion.

So, obviously something is wrong here, so time for another experiment.

Back up to Origin, Now to Lae'zel, and then Custom same as before with the Tiefling Rogue. Now with the Soldier Background I get Atheletics, Acrobatics, SoHx2, Stealthx2, Deception and Intimidation.

I switch to Urchin and then back to Soldier and now I have...Athletics, Acrobatics x2, Deception x2, Intimidation, Performance, and Persuasion?

So, okay. I switch to Entertainer and then back to Soldier, now it's Athletics, Slight of Hand x2, Stealth, Deception x2, Intimidation and Persuasion.

Like. What? I don't really want to start playing until this gets fixed.

Also, I've been reading about 'free' stuff for people that did EA, how do I get that since I'm not seeing it anywhere. Oh well.

There is nothing bugged. Rogues get Expertise in two skills at level 1. That's the x2. You can configure your skills in the attribute menu.

It's not the x2 that's bugged, it's swapping around skills and not giving me the correct ones that's bugged.

Athletics - Athletics - Athletics
Acrobatics - Acrobatics - Slight of Hand
Slight of Hand - Acrobatics - Slight of Hand
Slight of Hand - Deception - Stealth
Stealth - Deception - Deception
Stealth - Intimidation - Deception
Deception - Performance - Intimidation
Intimidation - Persuasion - Persuasion

How does having the same Race, Sub-race. Class, and background of Soldier give me three different set of skills. THAT's what I'm concerned with.

Because not all of your proficiencies are fixed.

For your combination you get Religion and Insight proficiency from Acolyte and then pick four out of Athletics, Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Investigation, Perception, Deception, Intimidation, Performance and Persuasion because of Rogue. The game just randomly picks four out of these. It's not a bug.

Just choose what you want yourself.
