I love this game but if there is one thing I think should have some change its the Civil Abilities. After getting a 4-man party, everyone is focusing on different stuff and they cap their main (around level 14?) it feels like they are putting wasted points in there. Would be great if there were more abilities or at least you are able to spend your Civil point on Combat abilities.

The most important skills to get are, in my opinion and in order, bartering, persuasion, thievery, lucky charm, and sneaking, with telekinesis and loremaster in last place. This is because with high bartering you can basically get whatever you want from any merchant at any time, without it being marked as stolen, persuasion opens up a lot of options in the game and helps you if you get caught doing something you shouldn't be doing, thievery bc you can take everything from any npc one time at higher levels, lucky charm because its a lot of high quality loot, and sneaking because sometimes you want reduced sight cones to aid with guerrilla and/or stealing. Telekinesis is useless if you have any character that has a strength scaling weapon or skill set, and loremaster isn't really necessary for anything, merchants identify items for cheap if you have a bartering person and doesn't seem to reveal all that much about enemies, although that might be because i have never played w/o an elf

Does anyone know when we get these? These seem soooo precious. You only get one at first and it may not be where you want it on your party members. Then when do you get more? Every X amount of levels?
