If this is the case then why the hell did they remove the class system inbetween Oblivion and Skyrim. Thanks to this absurd design decision, I (and everyone else for that matter) really have no reason to ever play Skyrim again. The Dragonborn is the same old dull jack of all trades in every play through you will ever do.
Sorry, I'm still mad about this ...
And used games "hurting" developers is just as absurd an argument as it has always been. Every other type of electronic media can be sold used and nobody else complains. If they try to force exploitative practices like digital distribution and too much DLC down our throats we will close our wallets; it's that simple. Developers need to wake up to this reality.

This is tangential. But...so what? They abandoned the pretense that the classes mean jack or shit. You could max everything with any character regardless of class. Shoot, there were folks who deliberately picked classes that wouldn't make them level up much because they never used those skills, just so they could avoid enemies becoming damage sponges.

Yes, you could max whichever skills you decided to level in the older games, but classes still gave you a immediate boost to certain skills. They emphasized playing the game in a particular fashion, and maybe tagging a school of magic that you liked or a skill to make your class even more unique. Skyrim throws the baby out with the bathwater and just removes any sense of customization you have over your character. It is a symptom of a larger problem is what I am saying ... they got rid of birthsigns too (unless you rub up against a bunch of stones scattered around skyrim).
I just want the abilty to make permanent choices with my character. I have played Skyrim extensively both on my profile and some of my friends, and I can honestly not notice any difference between our characters aside from the gear we are wearing. This cuts into replay value precisely because I have no desire to make a new profile ... he is just going to end up exactly the same as my current character with the only difference being the pants he is wearing.
