So, independent skills cost 2 skill points to learn, but don't consume knowledge points, right?

Yes.

Without access, does that mean they can't be obtained? But the cost to learn still remains?

Yes.

And how do skill bonuses interact with each other? I seem to remember that weapon skills didn't stack.

Any weapon can be used without specific penalties, but only one style bonus applies (the only exceptions are the Drearian skill, the Traveler skill, and the Officer skill).

How many years have passed there?

A difficult choice.

Justify your beliefs.
What is available to whom?

Aretz, stop pretending and take "Greed" already.

If this continues, I think this will be my last participation in Heroes competitions.

I think that every time I host a game – "this is definitely the last one."

Justify your choices based on the beliefs.
What is available to whom?

I didn't set any specific restrictions, so I'll say this: the main thing is that there are no contradictory combinations (misanthropy and Ikigai, for example) and that it corresponds to the character's quest/role-playing. And, of course, some factions are more inclined to certain beliefs (for example, both aristocratic factions are closer to traditions, while the Sonata faction is closer to innovation), but this does not obligate anyone, and it can be bypassed.

Okay, Ples, I need a build for a dark mage from the D'harion faction...

Ah yes, regarding the tournaments: they were canceled during the event according to a government decision. It was announced that these tournaments and violence as a form of public entertainment should remain on the pages of fiction and disappear from the life of modern Rhemic society, as they are a barbaric practice.

You're really motivating me to play for the Sonata faction.

I still need to figure out my own build.

I saw the experience points and thought, "Great, I'll have something to do today; I'll come up with a character." Then I remembered that I needed to call about work, and my mood immediately soured. And I started thinking... Yes, these are obvious things, but I'll write them down anyway. So, it's so easy to write a quest, come up with a story for a character, make them successful or not, and with just a few taps on the keyboard, arrange their life (it doesn't matter that they'll die in agony later; you can always come up with a new one). It doesn't work that way in real life. To achieve something, you need a lot of time. And there are no guarantees that all the efforts you put in will lead to a positive result. Or that this positive result will satisfy you. It might turn out that it's not what you actually needed. And then you die. And you can't create a new character. And when you watch/listen to/read about people who seem to have everything they wanted, and it all just happened naturally, it becomes so frustrating that you feel like you have nothing. Even though the starting conditions are almost the same. You mentally go back in time and think, "If I hadn't done that, everything would have been fine." Although that's not necessarily true, but on an emotional level, it seems like it is. In general, all of this is very demotivating and makes you want to do nothing. Including writing a quest. I wrote this a bit incoherently, but whatever, I'm going to go and indulge in self-pity and cry.

Funny, Nebok, even though you're technically right, in real life I manage to achieve greater success than in the game. I do lead a very cautious life, though, and I never fight with bartenders. But in general, I've had these thoughts many times, although not in relation to the game (where I've never managed to achieve success), but in relation to regular games.

I admire people, and that motivates me a bit.
Are there no more one-and-a-half-handed weapons left? I'll have to use a one-handed weapon, but should it be a regular one or an imperial one?

For the imperial art of swordsmanship, only katanas and one-handed swords are used.

A one-handed weapon is for use with one-handed weapons, that's obvious.
We need to choose a faction that no one will pick.

Is he some kind of hipster?

Enclave or Fortress? I was sure you would choose the Hammers of Fate.
