Not a Bug Character Creation

[Neon Samurai]

Build 14, beta 3.3, 23 Oct 2014

In character creation while using the setting "game preferences/experience gain" 'manually distribute skill points (stock POTC), All the character background classes are identical with 1 point in each stat. The custom profession lists 2 free points but they cannot be placed.

Using the Custom profession, you can choose your skills AFTER starting a new game (because for some reason it doesn't want to work from the menu).
And on the Standard Storyline, you ALWAYS have to choose your skills after starting a new game for the tutorial.
So what you describe sounds intentional on my part.

Hmmm ok, it was a change from the last version (where you could add points). Plus like I said the other professions also all start with 1's which makes them all identical.

On the Standard storyline for purposes of the tutorial, yes. On the others, it does make a difference.
Also, the professions give you different starting items, so it does make some difference.
