The 3 Skills you need at the start !

[Kaynos]

Security : Allow you open chests and doors.
Boostback Training : Allow you to reach otherwise inaccessible areas using your jet pack.
Stealth : Allow you to unlock a bar that show your stealth status.

it doesnt really matter much, i think the starting class/background is more important than the skills that come with it. ive had a lot of cool dialogue options so far for being a Xenobiologist. any time theres talk of aliens it comes in handy

edit: i think i used it 3-5 times in the first Vanguard mission alone

[Mutuh]

Since security unlocks tiers based on number of locks opened - I agree - get that as early as possible.

I've heard Scoundrel is pretty fun too for Dialog options

Agree with security and boostpack training. I'm not going to be stealth archering it so don't mind about the stealth bar. Might get it as a later thing.
What's more important imo is to look at the next tiers to see what stuff you'd like to unlock later. A few points in maybe less useful skills now can pay off when you can get a very good skill in the next tier early on.

Hey, thanks for the tips-gearing up to play and getting pumped about it!

Combat Medic has, that I've seen, no dialogue options.

This is in spite of having conversations with a dozen badly wounded and sometimes on the verge of death people.

Worst background.

[Viper]

Defintelly security and stealth..also Persuassion in my opinion.Medic also good and whatever weapon you are using. 10% increase in damage is nice.

Astrophysics at the bottom of science tree is pretty awesome for getting a lot of xp. Scanning planets for xp and credits is pretty easy

[EchoPlexy]

Thanx all

yeah im definitely gonna try get tier 2 of science for that, too bad tier 1 so far doesnt look all that special so i neglected it a lot

[EchoPlexy]

I keep hearing/seeing that you're much slower to level up in this one, and that you don't really start feeling your skill points til 25-30 or so. I'm not sure I mind that tbh,

[Zerberr]

Don't chose dream home though, as it's just empty building in the middle of toxic looking hills

I think that medicine perk is tier 1 science.

Helps out if you don’t want to play stealthy.
