There will only be 3 things wrong with it:

1. The beginning
2. The middle part
3. The end

:yeah:

Installing and uninstalling it will be bad too.

Additionally, should someone get around to fixing TES use-based system by factoring difficulty of an action into skill gain formula, effectively preventing grinding trivial tasks over and over, those two skills would be unfixable. They simply shouldn't be skills at all.
Wait. When I say that I approve of removing those skills, you complain about it, but then you say they shouldn't be skills at all? What?
Because movement should still be determined by stats - Agility and Speed. And attributes were cut from Skyrim completely.

Imagine you have a gall stone. You can function pretty well with it, but sometimes it just causes you a fuckload of disabling pain, plus it poses some additional risks.

The difference here is between having a surgery removing the stone, and having your gall bladder, alongside of the liver, removed by a bunch of hungry cannibals. Technically, in both cases you had your gal bladder and gall stone removed, but in the latter you would be better off (and less dead) if the stone stayed, but you could still use your liver.

I don't know any other RPG where a lack of skill negatively affects my travel speed, so it was a dumb idea in the first place.
Speed affecting running speed is dumb. You've heard it on the Codex first.

Besides, "being able to walk at a decent speed" isn't interesting character development.
But being able to use hit-n-run tactics is.

Maybe with the removal of RPG elements, Bethesda can at least make a decent Hack&Slash action adventure. I'm not holding my breath here.
FPS games already exist and are better at being FPSes than Oblivious was or Skyrim will be.

If you make an absolutely atrocious computer, and then figure out, that it works much better as a toaster, chances are that it will still be a pretty bad toaster.

Insert clever insult here
No but day 1 nude patches will be.

Unless they release the CS before the actual game - which would be pretty cool move from Bethesda.
