whats the exact number of Talent points you get, one can plan better. Already screwed up once and had to restart, kinda screwed up again, first time at the citadel, almost level 8, and have only one point in Charm...suggestion? keep going or, well you know
My recollection for the Veteran difficulty setting is 3 talent points per level from lvl 1 to 20, 2 points per level from lvl 21 to 35, 1 point per level from lvl 36 to 60. I think the number of points per level may scale somewhat depending on difficulty (although you never get more than 3), but I only played the Hardcore and Insanity difficulties with a repeat character starting at lvl 53 and 59 respectively, so I'm not sure on that.
As far as Charm and Intimidate go, you get bonus points for those when you reach certain levels of either Paragon or Renegade. If you want to pump a lot of extra points into either Charm or Intimidate then be sure to do all the side missions. After you leave the Citadel you should be able to get up to around level 25 or so (lvl 30+ if you have the XP bonuses from certain achievements) before you even start the main plot missions. Be aware that some conversations require levels of Charm or Intimidate that you can't realistically achieve on your first play through. You'll need to run the same character through the game a second or third time to see these (which you have to do anyway to reach lvl 60).
