While playing (starting again, as my old save was incompatible with the new version), I still find I have no idea "how" to play this game, as mentioned before. When leveling skills, am I supposed to focus on a single skill until it reaches the next "tier" (the lines that divide the skill bars, where your starting skills start filled to) in order for it to do anything and making any training until I reach that tier meaningless, or is a half-trained skill enough to pass certain checks or improve certain results? Is there a malus to your training results if you over-specialise in one skill to encourage you to spread your training around a bit, or is there nothing discouraging you from spending all day, every day training the same skills over and over? And with the randomness of events, which skills DO I actually need and which are meaningless and useless? As I mentioned before, it feels like a strategy game where you're having to make all your decisions completely blind, especially since we don't get told in enough detail what real, tangible effects the skills actually have beyond some of them letting you pass or fail certain event checks.
