It keeps the franchise fresh the way they aren't afraid to switch things up every once in awhile. In the first game from what I've read was all experienced based then in Elder Scrolls 2-4 it was about how you used your skills that leveled you up now it's kind of a mixture of the two and they made it less of a hassle to level up. It's cool they aren't afraid to change things up a bit like that

Too bad it's always for the worse though.
