Game NEEDS respec talents

[Wyrmheart1343]

I didn't realize these were totally permanent (nor that I wouldn't be able to get them all. Now I'm scrambling to make a functional build. I don't want to have to start over just for this.
/SMH

EDITS:

I got to lvl 40 from farming the arena and I have a few comments:
(1) I learned to test talents using multiple saves and then staying on the save with the talent I prefer, (2) spending on the the Room of Requirement talents is important and you should pick at least your top 3 most used consumables, (3) the stealth points are great on a few missions, and stealth itself is pretty OP, but we can mostly live without the talent, (4) I'd say "only put points on spells you use" but I do use all the spells consistently (the game encourages you to), and (5) I made a good final build, but I still don't see a good reason why we can't respec.

This was my build:

--------------
Since I found this system so dumb, once I beat the game I went to NexusMods and added 12 more talent points (I also changed from Ravenclaw to Slytherin). Now my post game character has everything talented.

I agree with this but they told you when you unlock talent tree.

[MuscleBearGamer]

They made it perfectly clear with the huge pop up when you got to that point in the game, that once you put them in you cannot change them.

the first thing it tells you is that it's permanant. you're right though, it's crap. in a world of magic where anything is possible, god forbid anyone respec their talents.

just to note: you get 1 point for every level after 5, to a maximum level of 40. this means you get 35 talent points to spend.

Spells - 10
Dark Arts - 10
Core - 16
Stealth - 4
Room of Requirement - 8

with this you could max out your spells, core, and almost all of your dark arts.
whilst stealth is fun, its used very rarely, and is still totally feasable without the extra skills.

the same with the room of requirement skills, its focus is consumables and buffs, seems like a waste to me.

if the devs dont add a way to respec soon then i can guarantee there will be a mod. i wouldn't worry.

Maybe a mod will allow you to spend points on all of them.

Oh no one rpg aspect and you get mad about it.

[Wyrmheart1343]

Re-spec exists in most RPGs I've played. That's exactly why I was confused it was actually permanent (and not just temporarily permanent til the end game or something). This game literally lets you change your face, but you can't change a talent point?

It doesn't matter anymore... I edited it anyway.

a lenghty quest for a respec potion with rare ingredients, id be down for that lol or one that took a week of ingame time to brew xD that'd be interesting

[anarchy]

I don't mind being unable to respec, but I really dislike when games don't give you enough points to collect all the perks.

That said, you end up 12 points short and I don't remember a single point in the game where I used a consumable outside of duelling feats, so that was an easy 8/12 dealt with by skipping the entire Room of Requirement tree. Zero regrets there.

[Wyrmheart1343]

you missed out. the consumables are great. The red potion tripples your dmg and breaks shields. The stone potion makes you immune to CC. Invis lats long and you can cast petrificus totalus out of it. Mandrakes stun entire rooms of enemies. etc. Consumables are all stronger than your spells, they just cost money or gathering time, but if you get them from RoR they are basically free.

That doesn't make it any less forgivable. That is just trash game design and conflicts with modern day design philosophy where we have learned from our past mistakes that unchangeable talent trees are terrible for the player.

Even Diablo 2 caved in and let you change your talents 3 times.

[Star Rain]

yeah my ocd wont let me spend a single point until im able to max everything all at once.
