Learning point threshold bug
So I've encountered a weird bug with my current save file I couldn't find anything about on the internet so far.

Short version:
Increasing Strength by 1 point usually costs 4 Learning Points up from 90 and 5 Learning Points up from 120. Somehow these thresholds are at 100 and 130 respectively for me now...

Any idea what caused that and how to fix it?

Long version:
Is there any hidden buff, quest reward or known glitch that can make this happen? I'd really prefer to keep playing without such a weird glitch...

Edit:
Other than Strength, so far I've invested Learning Points into the following:
  • Sneaking (5)
  • Taking pelts (5)
  • Pockpicking (10)
  • 2H to 75% (117)
  • Ancient Language I (5)
  • Ancient Language II (10)
  • Ancient Language III (15)
That's a total of 167 Learning points of 320 Points available at Lv32. With 9 LP left that's
Since I've not used any permanent Strength boosts yet, that leaves 144 LP for Strength. That in turn would only be enough to get to 84 Strength...

→ Therefore my assumption is that the game thinks I'm still wearing some +10 item. It probably messed up updating my Strength-value while removing a +10 belt or amulet some time in the past...

But how to fix that?

Did you by any chance use `cheat god` ? Unequipping stat boosting items while under that will leave you with the stats permanently.

Nope. With one exception I never used marvin-mode after installing G2 at all before I noticed that bug. That exception being me being stuck in some rock-formation, using F8 to get out. Then saving and restarting the game.

Thanks though! That's an idea at least.

For the time being I just decided not to wear any belts anymore since I only used the +10 Strength belt for quite some time anyway. This way I'm kinda virtually wearing it I guess... Certainly not a solution, but a workaround. It gets the game back to non-cheating/non-glitch-using levels anyway.

Edit: Another idea unfortunately didn't work either: If 'cheat god' prevents stat changes, I figured I could add another 10 Strength with your method and then reduce it by 20 using one of the orc rings from chapter 4 (Paladin). Unfortunately god mode seems to only prevent stats from dropping, it doesn't lock (or even allow) stat decreases.

But since I used my perma Strength boosts at this point, I'm well in the 5 LP/STR zone anyway. Thus I just manually decreased my Strength by 10. So while some stuff is still messed up in the background, it's all fine now for all relevant intents and purposes. :)
