mod request: skill tree "reseter"

[Dabrinko]

He probably means respec.

Get all the runes spent back, and no (but starting skills) skills chosen.

lol, I know what he meant, I was just mocking his ridiculous idea. Trying out new skill combinations is part of replayability.

So, he wants the shortcut (not having to start a new game).
I took a look at the scripts. It seems that it would be a tedious job to make things happen - IMHO, not worth the price. Once you get to the elves, you should find plenty of runes laying around to pick all the skills you want...

I'm actually not sure that it's even possible to downgrade a skill, I don't recall seeing the skill upgrade function anywhere. And a reset button would mean having to calculate all the existing levels and their required rune costs of every skill which would be annoying to write.

Weird that this wasn't the first mod written. Should be simple to code and it's a big design misstake even if it's intentional.

Johannes,
did you ever manage to "un-learn" something?
Try mathematics for example or, eating with forks and knives. Once earn some skill, it's really hard to get rid of it. Sure, it degrades over time (takes 10-15 years) if you don't use it, but it would be still there anyway.

[Keneth]

It's not a design flaw, I fully support their decision, and if you think it's that easy to code, maybe you should give it a shot.
