This is absolutely garbage and ridiculous.
Why have a cap at all?! Particularly in offline mode?
I'm baffled at what the reasoning is to have so many abilities and so little ability to unlock everything. I'm in my 40s level wise and I had no idea that I was so close to not being able to progress any further.
Similarly, it makes certain skills that make you gain XP faster utterly pointless. You're spending a very limited pool of skill points to arrive faster to where you can't earn anymore skill points?
Man, less than pointless, those skills are actively harmful. You waste very limited amount of skill points.
