These skill choices comes from your class and background. When those are chosen at level one, you never get to decide how your skills developed from there. Your proficiency just go up at certain levels and those skills gets better.In PF1 on the other hand, you get Skill Points to put into the skills of your choice. Different classes gives different amount of skill points. You also get skill points for your intelligence modifier. Each skill point put into a Skill gives is a +1. You can never have more Skill Ranks than your level.There is also something called class skills. If a Skill Align with your class it's easier to train them. And you get an additional +3 to that skill if you put at least one skill point into it.So short answer is more customization. And the possibility to develop your character as you see fit, over the character's lifespan.</blockquote>
