[[Acrobatics]] and [[Athletics]] have been entirely removed from the game. Fall damage scales with distances and players may run more quickly by using the newly implemented sprinting function both in and out of combat.

===Leveling up, classes, and customization===
The leveling mechanic in ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'' is similar to previous titles, with the player leveling up after enough skills have, themselves, been leveled up through use. Game director Todd Howard stated that the game's "mathematical" level cap is 70;<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/2011/02/03/toddhowardse.aspx</ref> however, the Prima Official Game Guide states the level cap is "around 80."<ref>[http://i.imgur.com/Xj5Mr.jpg Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Prima Official Game Guide]</ref> One of the largest differences from previous ''Elder Scrolls'' games is that you no longer specify a group of major and minor skills; instead, all skills are treated the same, and all skills contribute towards leveling up.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01/26/the-art-of-skyrim.aspx</ref> As a result of this change, there is no longer any class selection component to character creation.

A significant new feature to ''The Elder Scrolls'' series is the addition of a total of 251 [[Perks (Skyrim)|perks]], one granted each level, which allow for further specialization. Each skill is presented as a constellation, built up of node stars representing the perk tree, within a firmament. For example, a player using one-handed weapons could specialize in maces with a perk that ignores opponents' armor, select a perk granting swords an increased chance of landing a critical hit or prioritize axes by choosing a perk that makes enemies bleed, causing damage over time.

Character visual customization has been further refined from previous ''Elder Scrolls'' games, introducing new customization options such as pre-built beards and faces, war paint and scars, and otherwise enhanced facial construction. Body size is also now an editable feature, along with different presets for nearly all facial features.

Also new to ''the Elder Scrolls'' series are the [[Guardian Stones]]: large, carved obelisks scattered throughout the game world found singly or in a single group of 3 (near the game start area). By activating the stone of your choice, your character is granted one or more bonuses or powers; a new stone may be selected later, but only one stone can be active at a time. There are thirteen Guardian Stones, corresponding to—and replacing—the thirteen [[birthsigns]] of previous games.

Unlike the prior ''Elder Scrolls'' games, which featured eight attributes that could be increased through leveling, ''Skyrim'' has only three values to increase, one of which can be selected each level: [[Health (Skyrim)|Health]], [[Magicka (Skyrim)|Magicka]], or [[Stamina (Skyrim)|Stamina]]. This was done for the dual purposes of simplifying the leveling process and reducing unnecessary statistics, as the 8 attributes were considered to be simply a means of increasing the three above values.
