Yeah - and I view the "the Dragonborn is an exception to all the rules, so go nuts and shout an old lady off a cliff, we're good!" as a *total* disappointing copout.

I mean, you have 3 stats, and the 3 classic TES archetypes: Warrior, Mage, Thief. Heck, the perk constellations even reflect the color schem...
