This pretty much sums up any BS complaints about "streamlining" being nothing but misguided, nostalgia-induced whining from TES forum freaks.
I'm hoping they changed some of the more useless ones. Like the Dark Elves freaking "Ancestral Ghost"... Worthless.

Lolz, I know, right? We really need scaled racial powers, or at least make them strong enough and versatile enough to be useful for a level 1 just as much as they could be for a level 50.
I was under the impression you chose a race based on what looked the coolest to you, not based on number crunching and end-game forumlas...
If that were the case, then there would be even less "RPG" about TES. What you're implying is more akin to wearing a different set of clothes in the game, that have no different effects from any other outfit. Not only would that terribly undermine the race lore, but it would just make gameplay boring and pretty much ruin any hope for replay value.
