I really hope they fix this in a patch. Because, its like, you have Magnus and Vollinger as followers, and they have Mechanical, Smithy, and Gun Smithy as skills, so they can make stuff for you. But then you find Mechanical Smithy and Gun Smithy schematics and if you want to make those things you have to bury points into those just so you can make those. That is so retarded. It really takes away from the customized characters and followers.
Learn the schematics yourself. Then go buy 10 technical manuals of every school so you can make those things.
