i agree with the armor set up. the whole supposed benefit of wearing light armor was that you could move faster than heavy armor. you could but only when sprinting, which doesn't hold much of a combat benefit when compared to the higher dt of heavy armor. plus this benefit is null if you have the steed stone effect, you can move just as fast in heavy armor as in light. personally i really miss the hand to hand skill as well as spears.

limiting abilities is also another plus in my opinion, it really adds to the uniqueness of your character. putting a more strict class system in place would be nice, as well as the return of attributes like strength and agility, it further lets me immerse my character into the class i want it to be. while there are some elements that i really love when beth streamlined the series, its gotten to the point where its an rpg for handicapped players. no real strategy without stat distribution or the like. some things in previous entries were practically crying out to be simplified while others really should have been left alone.

companions can be retarded sometimes, and i thought what obsidian did in nv with the companion wheel was exemplary, helped you really keep tabs on them quickly without repetitive dialogue.

i play wow so maybe my opinions on classes are a bit biased but i really think the game can benefit from strict separation and even class specific abiltites that can't be used by others, even quests and items that are class specific. at the same time, its not a multi-player game where you rely on other players abilities to work as a unit, dps, tank, healer, etc.. your basically going in a one man army so being a jack of all trades is sometimes a blessing in disguise.

and anyone whos seen the very start of the game can tell that scripted moments are not bethesda's strongpoint. the beginning was a very jarring experience, hopefully they can improve that or do away with it altogether.

everything else, I have to say, is still incredible. the way the music and landscapes, lighting and weather, people and creatures, come together, is a symphony.
