I agree with Yorick. I level up system for this game. It really makes you think about which Major and Minor skills are important for your character concept. It does not mean that you could decide later to punch up one of the misc skills and use it, it just means you do not advance as quickly. I think this really simulates real life as some people learn more quickly about certain subjects than others.
As for the speechcraft issue, when I started the game speechcraft was a minor skill and very rarely worked. As the game progressed I found trainers to help boost my speechcraft which in turn helped boost my personality. Now at level 11 I find I can at least use speechcraft successfully sometimes. There are still people that do not respond at all to my attempts but that is just like real life as well.
I have really started to get into the game and find there is enough to do so when I get bored of doing one thing I can go do something else. For example, I have gotten bored with running around doing the errands for various different people so I am now going to do a bit of exploring in the world. Maybe hunt down a few slavers and free some slaves. Maybe do a little beast hunting. There are just so many options.
