Agreed. And I prefer keeping to Talent maximums of 4, as it results in less narrow characters. If characters have to possess multiple Talents, they have broader capabilities (even if they have one or two things that they are really good at).

In my own settings, I use Talents to make animals (and animalistic monsters) more dangerous. A tiger with Stalker 4 and Strangler 4 is a nightmare for most parties, and the players will start assuming that there is a supernatural component after a while. Having a tiger waiting in the darkness beyond the campfire, ready to pounce on anyone who goes off alone, creates good drama, especially as the characters realize that they do not have enough firewood for the night.
