I know, I just heard it. And it says that Alchemy IS a skill (at around 13:20). And for the record, when he says it is not THAT important anymore, he is not talking about alchemy not being important. Rather, he is saying that it is no longer that important where the skill is classified under. It's under stealth, but that classification is not as important as it used to be in other games. He seems to be talking about the idea that some skills will be seen as being sort of borderline between magic-stealth-combat. Alchemy will probably be borderline between Stealth and Magic. That's what he is saying.
