New skill system is unintuitive
I did not understand the new skill system and thought I had no or few skills.

UPDATE 3 : Well I finally figured out this is intended behavior, should have read the patch notes more closely. This seems like a helpful change but it was greatly confusing for a short amount of time as you can tell by my previous statements, I suppose people will just have to get used to it. I also suspect that I will not be the last person to post this "bug" report.

I've made several characters with metallurgy and they either have only metallurgy or they have metallurgy and one other skill. Very strange bug, easily reproducible.

UPDATE : There are tons of characters that just don't have skills for whatever reason. Very strange. I even had a character with skills and then made the same type of character and it had no skills.

UPDATE 2 : Apparently just pressing "a" only shows one or two skills for whatever reason and pressing "shift+a" shows them all. I don't know if this is intended but it's un-intuitive. This also didn't happen with the first character I made so it's very strange overall.
