So I was looking at my old UI mods, planning for a revamp + update to them, when I noticed something.
I opened my skill tree window, has some SP left often so I could see the (+) on the skills I had available to increase and I thought, It'd be nice to test the "pressing" image when you add a point, but I don't want to just spend SP to see the effect.
and it dawned on me.
We should seriously consider adding the option to "preview" skills in game. Not the animations, but the effects of adding SP. Similar to how our Creative Contraption calculators allow us to apply and remove SP from skills to super fine tune the build. That same feature of Apply points to see how the skill scales, and if you're not satisfied remove some/all and place into another one for preview. Once you are satisfied with how you have allocated/spent your SP you simply click "apple/accept" to save the SP to their location -no longer able to be adjusted-.
I have seen this on quite a number of titles, I even think Dragon Saga [another WP Title] has this capability. Would be really sweet.
