Welcome to Bethesda's abortion of a skill/leveling system - hope you
enjoy your stay >;-) (either that or find a place to sleep :)

Oh, good grief, Nos--this isn't even funny any more. It's really and truly

I was going for annoying, not so much funny - glad to see it worked ;-p

not *that* big a deal. I'd just about bet that with your playstyle, if the
leveling system etc. was completely hidden so that you didn't *know* how all
