Did I mess up by not taking Electronics for my sniper?

[Hegar]

I have a sniper/crafting build. I'm on normal so I have some leeway. But I'm a bit concerned that maybe crafting sniper rifles is pointless without electronics.

I went for: Str 5, Agi 9, Per 10, Int 7, all else 3. For skills I went with: Guns, Evasion, Stealth, Hack, Lock, Traps, Mechanics, Tailor.

I'm starting to think I should have dropped tailor for electronics, as I don't think it adds much.

What does everyone think? If it is just a bit of a mistake, is there a saved game editor so I don't have to start again?

It's useful for sniper rifles in order to use smart module and Anatomically-Aware Scope.

It's also useful for crafting googles and shield.

You're probably not forced to restart though, you don't need to max all skills; especially with 7 int.

Also i would'nt max lockpick with 3 dex, around 50 effective skill is enough for all vent shaft. Not being able to open some doors or containers ain't that bad.

You can stop leveling traps and start putting those points in electronics.  Same for locks/hax/tailoring at a later point.  It's not even remotely worth restarting over.

Ok, yeah, I'm only level 7 so I'll stop locks at 50, I definitely like crawling through vents. Traps I've got effective 43 so I guess I can stop that now. I see a lot 80-85 hacking doors so I might keep going with that for a bit? Is there any particular point that makes sense to stop with tailoring?

unless you're playing a character that focuses on crafting, you'll craft your best gear quite a ways before the endgame, so you'll know when to quit before you're done assigning skill points
