-In a similar fashion perhaps list all available abilities under your skills but gray them out, again I have seen countless newbies completely unaware that there are other abilities for their skills, as an example I did not know you got more abilities for Archery by buying them - I got to level 30 and determined archery sucks because I was completely unaware that Elahil offered skills like heavy shot or Velkort taught fire arrow. Many newbies simply use the skills you gain from levelling up because they're not directed to ability trainers(archery is especially bad, with 4 different NPC's teaching skills) which leads to "this game sucks, you only get 5 crappy abilities to use and you never get improvements for them"
The only ingame indicator for the existence of these abilities is arbitarily talking to the trainer and clicking the training tab(Something I never did for velkort because he teaches fire magic which I'm not interested in so I never found fire arrow) or finding gear with mods for it, which from talking to newbies they either don't register that those mods meant they should go out and get skills or they assumed the skills would come at a much higher level.
I definitely get what you are saying. I would prefer that the game did not show me grayed out abilities - it makes me feel like I have to rush out and unlock them now in order to remove the gray, and I don't like being prodded that way.
