Here the savegame. You can test it; when talking with the old man you can kill him in the following quest which brings tons of experience points. Geralt reaches the next level but without the skill points. Can anyone see a different effect?http://www.box.net/shared/dnx3plrswcGranjowedit: I guess I've solved the problem. The talent points simply weren't shown before meditating.
Yeah, that's how it works. You need to meditate before gaining the points, which would never be an issue because you need to meditate to spend them anyways.
