And none of the skyshards are in delves, so you just go there and pick them up. No combat required, if you pick your route appropriately.

This is what I meant. I don't know that they are tutorial areas, since those short ones do give a skill point each. (Summerset has 1 I recall and the Main one has 1 plus a skyshard, though I am not sure if that skyshard adds to your total now that I think about it.

Here's the thing about the Summerset tutorial and the previous Morrowind tutorial. You got a skill point upon completing that tutorial areas quest. But if you got Summerset or had a character made before Morrowind you did not get that skill point. Same with Summerset; by completing the tutorial for Summerset you get awarded a skill point, but older characters made before Summerset will not get it. So with Elsweyr coming and a new tutorial with it, we get a skill point for completing it with a new character but previously made characters do not. So thats 3 skill points older characters will not have.
This has been something a lot of people have complained about, missing skill points despite there being more in the game than we could ever possibly spend all at once.
Now, the main games original tutorial area, the wailing prison, is interestingly still needed in order to begin the vanilla main quest and you still get the skill point for completing it. Making new tutorials with each chapter and locking old characters out of it and the skill point it gives seems weird and funny, but ultimately doesn't hurt anything as far as I'm concerned.
