Every version from 42.01-42.04 suffers from this issue.

I wish I could downgraded this to minor as I realized it only affects your character, not the other NPCs.

Still present in 42.06.
I think it's still a major issue. It means basically that it's impossible to play adventurer as a race with Natural_skill without having to roleplay why your character is so much more pathetic than the rest of your race.

So wait. As in natural skills are still used by the adventurer but not displayed, or they fail to function right?

Then again, I tried testing a naturally-skilled adventurer recently and found myself picking up dabbling spearman when I should've been at legendary, so that implies the latter. ._.

Its sad how all these adventure mode bugs go completely ignored.
