Another question that has been bothering me for a long time...
I'm trying to level up a hero according to a specific scheme – a simple example would be to reach a super ability. But at one point, I'm offered a choice of four different skills, none of which suit me, meaning the whole scheme will collapse immediately. What should I do in such a case? And is it even possible to do anything about it? :)

No, that's not possible. Each skill has its own chance of appearing. So, the entire skill acquisition system is based on probability. Although, it's unlikely that you'll be denied it in that way.

Step aside from the way of a better man than you
So you fall at his feet hes the one who betrays you
Its the servants devotion for the decay
Stand up

There are no flowers on your grave
There are no chains
There I keep chanting for the forgotten name © Amorphis

The probability of it happening is small, but it exists. Once, I was very cruelly "trolled" – when I was only 1 or 2 skills away from getting a super ability... :(
I don't really like this randomness in skill acquisition... It makes you dependent on something unclear.

It's true that you don't always get what you want, but if you really need something, you can even forget about a skill! Now it's not so scary if you have a mentor! :) But still, you always want all the skills to appear exactly as you need them! But strangely enough, that's almost always the case for me! As soon as I want to develop a hero in a certain way, that's exactly what I get! :)

By the way, about the mentor... he's quite the slacker. He messes with your memory: it seems like he decided to play "Men in Black": D - pushing a skill that you just got rid of. He thinks we've forgotten which skill we forgot: smile52. He could even start a business doing that!

I've encountered this problem before. Damn, how much money I spent to level up Wolfenstein in the campaign to get a super ability. It took me a very long time to get the Summoning magic, as it only has a 4% chance of appearing. But in principle, this is also an option: on a large map, you can level up however you like, and when you have plenty of money and a mentor, you can re-specialize the hero into a Super Archer, although it's not as easy as it sounds...

As expected, the super ability and other necessary skills become available; you just need to level up the specific skills you need, rather than trying to do everything at once. With experience, you start to anticipate when skills and abilities will appear, almost on a mental and intuitive level. And with a mentor, you can even change your hero depending on your goals, so that problem is solved. Now, the real problem is choosing which hero to use, and that's a very relevant issue!

Could you practice acquiring skills by manipulating the game using Artmoney to gain experience? I, for example, found some kind of pattern... sort of! )

Personally, to avoid a mishap (getting completely unnecessary abilities), I leave one slot empty (4 desired abilities and one empty slot), but sometimes it still turns out that it's impossible to avoid ruining the hero.
