Im not sure about this but it kinda feels like that one of the main reasons behind the "we can build characters that are good at everything" problem is that we get to many skill points at character creation. Less points would mean that we have to choose what we want and make sacrifices.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they gave us more points just for the beta, but it'll be less in main game.

I think you two might be getting skills and talents confused. they have said you get less talents right now so they can focus on how the core class ability's feel. though sadly the UI is to bugy right now to get a good feel for how almost any game play feels.

 

got a good feeling the first big patch to BB will clear a lot of things.
