I just thought to say that I think limit on the athletics skill is ridiculous. I understand that it's probably there to limit the players from having an uber heavy armor wearing character, and to try and make it like it is in reality, but thing is that it limits the kick-assness much later in the game. For example: if you have a warrior with 27 strength and 27 agility he is still slow and encumbered by armour, which is bullcrap in my opinion. In reality, a man this strong and agile probably would have got used to the weight and have trained himself to move(or run) and fight in his gear appropriately. Which brings to another use I have - stamina bar. Well I like introduction of stamina and all and I know that many people already talked about the issues they have with it, but I think this was not mentioned before. Strength should influence stamina as well. If a man is strong then he is not that much burdened by his gear which conserves his stamina.
So to summarize my rambling, I humbly request an option to switch off skill limits, and beg of you, Idibil, to consider my thoughts about strength factor for stamina.
