    Previous ES titles have never had set classes so it boggles my mind as to why they chose to use that theme park system.

    Where do people get this from???? YES, previous ES titles DID have classes, the only exceptions were Redguard and Skyrim

    In Oblivion you could "make your own class," effectively eliminating "classes".

    Derp.

    this would be a good idea, except maybe only choose X number of skills out of those that can be used. SO you get a choice of all, but you can't actually get all. Otherwise everyone would be too OP because everyone would have all the strong skills and the pets to tank. Make them choose a few out of all instead of the 3 set lines that are here. Maybe 3 lines of the class skills?

    I would like this a lot more than the current system, but I doubt it will happen.

    Every MMOG so far which tried a skill system without fixed classes (Fury, The Secret World and some others) has failed epically.

    Subscription cancelled due to the following facts:

    - Zenimax implements more bugs from patch to patch
    - Zenimax does not care about the increasing instability of the game. People have more and more crashes Fix of memory bug decreased number of crashes considerably
    - Zenimax has still not fully fixed the fps drops they (!) implemented with patch1.2.3
    - Zenimax does nothing to fix the massive ability lags in PvP
    - Zenimax gives more attention to unnecassary 'content' like dyes for armors than fixing issues
    - In patchnotes Zenimax lies about bugs allegedly fixed
    - Zenimax has no plan as to how balance population in Cyrodiil campaigns
    - Support is ineffective and does not even speak in a way one can linguistically understand

    No, they were not real classes. What i mean by that is you still had access to all the skills in the game. Your "class" in TES games was just a title.

    UO did not fail epically. It was a great MMO.

    Meridian 59 did not fail epically.

    Just because some MMOs failed with a skilled based system does not mean it can't be done and more importantly, any system can be improved upon.
