I am currently in the prologue, and I have a talent point to spend. I have no idea how to spend the talent point in the tree. I've tried clicking, double clicking and just about every keyboard button. I've read the tutorial snippet and it provided no help.

Yes, I know how to get into the talent tree, but I can't figure out how to allocate the 1 talent point I have.

So... basically pick the vigor regen one. Click on it. Then hit enter / select enter.

Pressing "C" should take you to the character screen, unless you re-binded it with something else.

In the beginning only the training skills are available.

you can assign points only to the three skills on starting from bottom (more vitality, parry and whatever the third one is). only then can you assign points to other skills.

you should be able to just click one of the skills and a box popups for you to confirm the skill upgrade

speaking of skill points. how many do you get in relation to total skills?

can you at some point max out everything, or is like the first game where you can not
