No, I don't think it is.

The only legitimate thing about that argument is spellcrafting, and I DO wish that was back. But the rest, for example, the birthsign and stuff at the beginning I liked it better in Skyrim than in previous games because it allowed you more freedom to make the character you really wanted. You weren't stuck with a plethora of bonuses you decide you don't want later.
