Hi JLV, everyone.
I agree with you here, a lot.
In my Pirate example above, my character grew up on the docks of Port RoughAndTumble, and as a kid with Thief being able to run away was a key survival skill. Also it helped in fights as he grew old enough to use a sword. So it makes total sense that the character started with Running talent.
However, now that he is on a ship, does the 2 memory for Running really help him that much? Being able to dump the mIQ for Running to take Boating and Seamanship would help a lot to try to make a Thief & Pirate double 'class' character work in the new TFT.
Maybe Kracken can also hypnotize you and allow you to quickly forget talents? That actually would be a little bit cool. Or maybe eating a funny jelly fish will do the job. But if we are back to extremely tight memory, being able to manage the mIQ spent on talents becomes a key strategy of TFT.
Warm regards, Rick.
