Its great the character creation process is streamlined now.
Pick from menus etc. Nice work from Gorboth and team.
I always felt that skills is a really long winded typing intensive exercise.
The first time you probably pour over them all wondering what to do first, but when you are only going to AG levels they are all going to be maxed soon enough.
How about when you enter and ADV Guild and there is unlearned skills you get a message telling you that, instead of having to type learn.
Then the command learn all could be added to quickly learn all available skills.
Or the improve command would automatically learn a skill if you try to improve it.

Also as to what to improve next..
improve command changed to give a menu?
1) improve combat related skills
2) improve quest related skills
3) improve money-making skills
4) improve other skills
5) cancel
Menu changes according to what is still available..
Doesn't show skills that are maxed.
so for example
