The part where Source is top right now is character models showing emotion
while they talk etc., as can be seen in HL2 and even more in Bloodlines.

I liked the way Bloodlines did handle it. FPS skills mattered globally,
but stats were important to gain special features. After all I hate when
e.g. you get experience points by fighting in melee and can then spend
them to raise your ranged weapon skills. Which makes no sense at all.
