Skills and abilities in the game. What are we going to develop? (Arcania: Gothic 4)

We are discussing a new system of skills and abilities in the game.
Compared to the previous parts of the series, the role-playing system has been simplified and fragmented. Parameters like strength, agility, etc. we no longer have, and the skills themselves have also changed, in particular, there are no more thieves' skills, hunting and handicrafts (some of the possibilities are available from the very beginning, for example, our character is already a master of breaking any locks from the very beginning).
