Character building in Solar Echoes (part 4)

Talents really set your character apart from others, enabling you to do things that others simply can't. If you have the Fast Break talent, you can avoid the turning penalty when piloting your starship, which might enable you to escape your pursuers, avoid being blasted by his ship as you turn, and possibly earn an advantage and change your orientation to position yourself behind his starship. With certain talents, you can catch a thrown grenade and toss it back, wield two weapons at once, run faster, or even stun an enemy with a swift nerve strike. Talents enable you to do exceptional things, or to be exceptional by ignoring certain rules penalties. You can select three talents when you build your level 1 character, and each level thereafter, you gain one more talent. There are over 270 to choose from, plus 4 racially-specifc talents that each race automatically earns every four levels, so choose your talents wisely. If you want your character to be an expert wheelman, driving your team at high speeds through crazy car chases, then you'll want to plan those skill points out so you can acquire every one of the driving-related talents. Your character's performance in the game will definitely be influenced by the talents you choose for him.
