I think this variant’s much better in that a) it’s even clearer what is/isn’t unlocked, and b) I think it’s rather more aesthetically pleasing. You will still be told what each skill is when you select it, and I don’t think the loss of the letter is going to make anyone forget about skills they’re already unlocked.

You can read more on my devblog, Facebook page, or Twitter feed. The devblog is updated weekly on Mondays, Facebook a few times a week, and the Twitter roughly daily. Any thoughts, please leave them in the comments! 0.2.0 is scheduled for release in the next two months, and contains a massive number of fundamental changes to skill trees, character creation, combat, setting (no mythological elements any more) and other things I'll be adding here in the coming weeks...
