For example, "Limber Legs" could unlock every 10 levels, and give a 10% increase to running speed. Or "Powerful Legs" could do the same thing, except for jumping. Throw in unarmed damage as a fun perk kinda like the gauntlets damage boost one, and then have other ones; Thu'um mastery, for example, that reduces shout recharge by 10-15% per level, Powers mastery that might improve the power of your...well, power. That way powers could be balanced for the entire game, rather than being really broken all the time(orc, nord) or underpowered all the time(wood elf).
I dunno, i guess it feels like there was a huge opportunity missed here. It could even include perks for various conditions such as lycanthropy and vampirism.
