To move this topic along, and coming back to the original request on what would be good to change... Reminded by the thread about character generation, I would like to see a reduction in the skill list. Note that here I'm speaking with the older version of the game (the one with all the companions) so it may have been addressed in newer versions - if so I apologise
But the skill list is absolutely massive and very intimidating to a new player. I look at some other games (e.g. Pathfinder, which took an already slim skill list and slimmed it even further) and then back at Rolemaster , where the (not very long) skill listings take up dozens of pages, and wonder if there could be a better way.
Recently I created an Excel spreadsheet to assist in character management, on which I had to list down all the skills, and it came to over 500 lines - and I didn't include all of the sub skills either, although that does include individual weapons. I reckon you could chop half of the skills and see no detriment in realism, probably more.
