1st virtue in each tree: get free virtue?
As first virtue I picked the first Signal virtue, which gives me a free virtue.
I used this to pick the first Harmony virtue - which again gives me a free pick...
with which I got the first Purity virtue - which again gives me a free virtue...
which I used to pick the first Supremacy Virtue... which gives me a free pick again...
And only then did I really have to take a closer look and chose something meaningful from the now available 3 opening virtues in each tree.
I.e. I ended up with 4 picks in the first tier without doing anything really.

What's the point of the first "free virtue" virtues??

The initial Virtue in each tree is "fake". This is done so that each tree offers 3 "real" choices about what effect to start with. Why even have the fake Virtue? There are some technical limitations that make the current method the cleanest solution.

Don't worry, the fake Virtues don't provide any benefit. They don't impact Virtue costs and won't trigger things like France's "Get Science when adopting a Virtue".
