Best talents to start with?

[StrangeLuv]

Hi all!

I've recently gotten into the Divinity series and will be starting on DOS 2 tonight. I need some opinions and tips on what you all think are the best talents, ones that are "must haves" that suit almost every character. I want to make sure I pick a couple solid talents to start with. I know some talents are really important for certain builds too, so feel free to elaborate.

Pet Pal seems to be one of the most valuable to me, but since I'm still sort of still new to the series I hope you guys can point out some of the other great talents so I can narrow down what to pick for my main.

Ifran comes with Pet Pal I believe, so unless you're starting as him, don't waste a talent on this. Far more valuable ones. Like Pawn, or Executioner

For a ranger..

Elemental Ranger sounds great but the range from where you can pick the element is very limited, not sure how useful it is. Anyone used it?

What about the one that recovers special arrows 33% of the time?

Other suggestions?

It's ok sometimes, but enemies often bleed their own element, and so you can end up healing them if you attack them.
