I dislike that IQ in LE is different if you start with it as opposed to gaining it later in the campaign. My opinion is you should be able to look at a character sheet and know exactly how much XP that character has gained, but how LE is written two identical characters could have vastly different amounts of XP.*

So I let people gain talents/spells when they increase their IQ, and treat buying talents/spells with XP as an added bonus when increasing stats becomes to expensive.
Alternatively you could completely separate IQ and getting talents/spells by making everyone just start with 10 points towards talents/spells regardless of IQ.

*I also don't let players buy money or wishes with XP.
