To understand the significance of version 1.6, one must first appreciate the problem it solved. In previous installments of the franchise, skill acquisition was largely a game of chance. Players were presented with a random selection of skills upon leveling up, leading to frustration when a might-oriented hero was repeatedly offered Wisdom or a magic hero was offered obscure logistical perks. The introduction of the Skill Wheel systematized this chaos. It established a rigid dependency tree where abilities (perks) were unlocked by specific skills, and ultimate abilities required a precise path of prerequisites.
However, the hidden nature of the wheel frustrates new players. The game never explains adjacency. You have to fail — choosing Leadership only to realize later you cannot reach Dark Magic — before you understand the system.
