Skills - maybe this game isn't what I'm looking for

...I think we're talking at cross-purposes somehow? What I said was that the entire point is that Westly and Inigo don't have Off Hand Weapon Training - they use their off hand to intentionally handicap themselves (until they decide to shed the limitation and go all-out).

(Also, shouldn't really plug the superseded and deficient Off-Hand Weapon Training technique. It was mispriced compared to Ambidextrous, and replaced by a perk that fully buys off the penalty.)

Again completely at cross-purposes. Some things being cheaper in 3e is irrelevant to this.

I thought there was a thing where the price per point of skills could scale exponentially without limit? But that might be some nonsense I confabulated, my signature disclaimer about 3e ignorance is still mostly accurate.
