Talk:Pillars of Eternity talents

Formatting
The formatting of this page is pretty terrible right now, I will be editing it to look nicer, give more info, and update any outdated info as well. KScorp (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Removing the "Known Talents" section
The title "Known Talents" suggests this section was added before PoE was released - now that the game is released, all talents are known.

And the wiki has also grown in the mean-time - each talent has its own page now, and for listing them we have excellent category pages like:


 * Category:Talents
 * Category:Class-neutral talents
 * Category:Talents gained as a reward
 * Category:Paladin-specific talents
 * ...and so on.

So I don't think keeping this separate list here gains us anything - it's just duplicate information that is prone to getting outdated.

Thus I suggest we:


 * 1) Go through the big list on the Talent page, and merge any info into the individual pages (if it isn't there yet).
 * 2) Remove the big list.

Objections? --Ineth2 (talk) 14:14, 3 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Quite some time, but… I've pointed the class-specific talents to the class pages, talent section now. -- UserCCCSig.png  -- You like to talk to me? -- cCContributions -- 14:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Terminology
I personally don't like "class-neutral" as term. It's okay to speak of "class-specific", but the other talents?

Suggested changes: I know, that somebody might mistake this, and categorize some class-specific talent with defensive effects into "Defensive talents", but… no, not so highly probable.
 * No grouping of the all-classes talents into one parent category (like "class-neutral")
 * Renaming of each "Class-specific talents" category to "Class talents", for example moving Category:Chanter-specific talents‎ to  Category:Chanter talents‎ 
 * Naming and categorizing the all-classes talents into
 * Offensive talents
 * Defensive talents
 * Utility talents
 * Watcher talents

And who will do the work? It all started with my purpose of uploading some icons. Then I found nearly 600 icons in ONE BIG category. Too much to look, if they are already present. So I started to recategorize the icons, following the example, Alianin installed some days ago: Category:Icons. And while doing so, and creating subcategory under subcategory, I thought, it's best to bring some order into the talents and abilities first, to see which categorization we would have at the end. So here I am.

And another plea for help with some terms: Someone's a good idea for a replacement of "Talents learned via level up"? --  -- You like to talk to me? -- cCContributions -- 15:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
