I am personally not a big fan of the talent system and I feel like having the option of turning it off would result in a more seamless playing experience for anyone who wouldn't mind playing without it. This could be handled the way questioned attributes are handled: have it be on by default but have a configuration variable so that if it is added to adom.cfg, the talent system is turned off. As a result, the talent selection step would be skipped from character generation and level advancement, and on the .flg at the end of the game, a message could be displayed to the effect of "He did not have any special talents".
