[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 6674812"] I would pick your favorite class-less system and run it (me - I would use Savage Worlds, but I am a SW fanboy). There has always been flexibility even in the class systems used in TES and Skyrim just let you built as you want. Of course, you could easily have a non-viable build in Skyrim (I had about 25 hours into a PC when I had to give up - he could kill mooks in 900 different ways, but if the opponent was Named he was a goner or it would be a looooooong fight). While there was some talk of it upthread, I would in no way try to replicate the level system in TES. Skyrim's is pretty good, but I could never get past the annoyance of it for Oblivion (I go back, play it a bit, give up). I should not have have an App or a spreadsheet to track skills just to level up efficiently. TES skill/leveling system leds to stupid behavior like standing there flogging your demon horse for an hour. [url]https://youtu.be/Q44ituA0TZk[/url] To me TES level system, especially Oblivion's, is just an anachronism of a time long past. (ie, we used to take a dump in an outhouse - but even today we do not do that even if we are at a historical house) [/QUOTE]
