[citation][nom]ashesofempires04[/nom]Have you played an Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind? Because that's exactly how the games still work. The only things that have changed are weapon skill consolidation (because having a different skill for 1h blunt, slashing, piercing, ad nauseum was just tedious) and perks that you have to spend points on, to force a specialization rather than simply giving them to you after you reached a certain skill level. It makes for a better game, and allows for a lot more granularity in specialization (especially among magic skills that were previously uninspired and lacking).[/citation]
I agree the magic skills were lacking but i dont use magic characters anyway. I actually liked the many different weapon skills rather than just the one handed or two handed available in skyrim, not to mention all the other skills. I really miss my Argonian with spear and medium armour. That is what i liked, you have your opinion, i have mine. It doesnt mean either of us are right or wrong. I completed the main quests in both Morrowind and Oblivion, i have yet to complete Skyrim as i got bored with it. Yes the simplicity of skills etc makes it less of a nice game and better for sales and the average joe, i just dont like it that way.
