Perhaps that was Stundorn's point JetJon. Currently the game lets you choose a couple skills in the creation window that aren't fully implemented (hunting/boneworking.) So which skills should you choose to focus testing? If it is your first time logging in you may not know. Which he explained that it was his first time logging into the game. If he picked skills that are available at creation but not implemented then when he logged into the game his only option was walking around.

I think right now your best bet is to just reroll and test other skills. In fact it is probably a good idea to use all the character slots and test as many skills as you can. If the skills you picked aren't available, don't worry. Just recreate and pick a new set of skills.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for an official thread with a focus topic. i.e. In this build we want you to test Menu Option, graphic settings, and xzy skill.
