Skill points limited to 10? or 15?

[Arythazin]

I played a lot earlier while the game was in early access and kinda left it alone for a while; there's a lot more content apparently, so I loaded up my super old saves. One thing I noticed while looking through the knowledge help section to catch up is that is says you get an extra skill point at even levels, and that the max skill points you can have is 15. However, I still only had 10 skill points at all trees (except one at 9), and even after running around to craft a potion of possibilities, I had 10 points available in my level 10 skill trees.

Is the in-game help thing wrong and 10 points is still the max? Or if 15 points are potentially available, am I just not able to get that number unless I start over on a new character/save, or is there a fix for this?

15 is the current.

I would recommend starting over. both because there is a lot of content EA didn't have that you may miss, and because of compatibility issues between EA and 1.5.2

You might be confusing the skill points with the skill level.
For your starting character, you get 15 skill points.
What you see showing as "10" is the max skill level. You can level your skill no more than 10 times. But every even skill level, you'll receive 2 skill points instead of 1.
If you count those 10 levels out you get to 15 skill points (1 for each level + 1 extra for each even level = 10 + 5 = 15).

Also, every time you take your heir over, you'll get more max skill level (and thus more skill points) than your previous character, so eventually you'll have enough (even more) to max out all possible skills if you play for enough generations.

Edit: It could also be that it was different in EA. I didn't play back then, but like brown said; it's best to not continue from an early access save but start over fresh, cause a lot of things have changed and you'll probably run into some weird problems down the line otherwise.

This probably isn't the best place to post this, but I passed a year into another spring, and then I instantly gained and then FAILED the tax quest, and it won't let me hand over the money to that one dude.

If there are no fixes for that among the other issues I've been having, I guess I'll need to restart, which is such a bummer since there's so much built up.

Edit: ^^ Yeah I have both level 10 in a skill tree and 10 points to allocate max, even though I drank a potion of possibilities. Guess it's just unfixable.

Don't feel bad about restarting. The entire story quest was changed and lots of new things added. You'll miss out on a lot by staying on the old save :-)

But y, if you stay on that old save you are going to get more issues for sure.
Still, they kept an old version of the game available in the steam beta thing so if you still want to continue on your old save, you can safely on that version.

To have it said, about the taxes.
That is no problem, but whats happen when the game trying to "reset" to the old save.
You will be in debt, but will (should) have the option to pay, as long as you have the money, next season.

But, recommend to start over.
