I've always fund that when something is flawed or broken, you should fix it, not throw it away entirely, that;s just being lazy. Getting rid of Hand-to-hand, Athletics and Acrobatics altogether reeks of laziness. Bethesda didn't even try to fix them.

And sadly, it is true that most gamers just want instant action rather than depth and complexity. It's depressing that that's the direction the gaming industry is heading in.

At least I'll always have Morrowind, Oblivion amd Mass Effect 1 when I need to remember the "good ol' days".
