Talent trees - any actual confirmation?

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

So, basically, the answer is 'no' then?

Correct.

So far, there's no actual confirmation that 4e will go the route of Talents like d20 Modern and Star Wars Saga.

No actual confirmation yet.

Man, I would LOVE them to be included. This is one of the best parts of Saga.

I only recall one of the designers saying that feat chains are mostly gone.

Wasn't that comment specific to feat chains that could be perceived as 'not-fun' to play until you got to the pay off with the good feats at the end?

I got the impression feat chains were still in in some form - but with less focus on qualifying for something great later on, and more emphasis on every feat counting and allowing you to do something useful and interesting.

FWIW, in Saga most feat chains are either substantially less complex (whirlwind attack has far fewer prereqa; Martial Arts I-III and Dual Weapon Mastery are straight progressions) or gone entirely. And most talents have no pre-reqs, or nothing beyond a talent and/or a feat.

Feat chains =/= Talent trees.

These are two different beasts.
