[what's your pet peeve about the game?]

You may want to try Undead Legacy. It's an overhaul, but it's close enough to vanilla that it doesn't seem like a totally different game.

There you have a mix of point allocation and LBD.

I'm watching the Day 1 video of this mod from Games4Kickz and it looks pretty amazing.

 

Getting used to weight limits and incredibly restricted crafting may take some getting used to (and I've been playing only 3 weeks....)

The emptiness of the world bugs me.  I'd like to see the traders be more like settlements with a population that have different people to get missions from.  More mission variety would be cool.. I'm repeating myself here,,,but taking elements of how Fallout 4 did settlements would add a lot. 

 

Yeah, you'd think a small town would naturally build up around a trader. Unless the game is trying to imply it's just you and the traders.

I'm greatly annoyed by having to allocate attribute points before I can actually allocate points to skills/perks.

I'd have liked something like directly putting points in whatever skill and, as a consequence, I'd also raise the related attribute as far as my best skill in that tree.

 

E.g.: if I put one point in clubs then also my strength will be 1, when I put 2 my strength will raise to 2 and so on... immediate gain! 

Totally in agreement. The current point allocation system doesn't make much sense and seems really retrograde.

 

I guess I'm used to Fallout/Skyrim-type systems where you also gain points by successfully using the skill.

 

Plus, I just started playing a few weeks ago and I'm realizing I have to put far more points into the base attribute to gain higher-level skills? Wha?

 

Is there/could there be a mod where your base attribute goes up automatically as you gain more points in the underlying talents?

Some mods may affect books. I know of one backpack mod that does. The book icons in corner doesn't show in the backpack.

Probably not really related to OP's problem but thought I would throw it out there.

No, I can see them--now--but they're so small that I didn't even realize there was a difference.

 

And now that I know, I still have to lean close to the monitor to see what's what when I see books at a trader.

 

Yes, different colors would be great, especially for someone shopping in haste.

[Mod that lets you know you've already read a book?]

Is there one?

 

It's especially frustrating when I've run into the trader right before sundown and I have to frantically check my list of books to see if the ones they're selling are new to me or not.

 

It's just plain annoying, though, when the only way to see if I've learned a schematic is to visit a crafting station.
