If I have level 8 skill in shotgun, and a level 0 skill in axe - there is nothing stopping me from using an axe. Will it be as good? Probably not, but an even bigger "limiting factor" would be the stats you train.

At some point you make a choice to specialize in Ranged or Melee weapons - training ACC or STR.

These are all choices you make. In the future, you can look back at the choices you have made in the past. You won't like them all, and some of them are going to suck. I ate at BK last night after midnight. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but today my gut hurts - and I am wondering what they did to those sliders. It was probably a bad choice.

ok all name calling aside..... why do you oppose the idea so much? Rado's point is spot on....

i think skills would be 100% better if they were just

Combat - Melee

or

Combat - Ranged

And the rest of those military and defense skill stuff. who wants to train all there stuff up into one skill then what happens down the road when this awesome new weapon comes out thats a diff skill set but still in the weapon class. seeing as how new thing cost more it would be nice to be able to use it at your current potential and not have to start over from scratch.

its like 360 or PS3..... backwards compatibility is the best thing about those machines aside from them being new and having cool new games. so you can use all the games you already bought for that system and still use them on your new system.
