| DarthVolod said: 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. |
Okay, I can respect the sentiment. I still maintain that the execution in prior games was so deficient that abandoning it entirely was perfectly acceptable for me, but I certainly understand the urge for additional customization.
