Skills, I used to drive cars... Options

[Arz]

Okay, when I started reading SR4 I thought that some sections would only be a touch-up to run smoother with the new dice mechanic. Well the changes are here and I find myself slightly befuddled by the logic in the skill section.

Firearm and vehicle skills became concentrated into broader skills. While athletics, negotiations, electronics, computers, conjuring, and sorcery etc. spawned schools of sub-skills.

Other skills just took a drastic shift when you look at its linked attribute, running&climbing+strength? In addition all combat skills being linked to agility just doesn't seem right to me.

All these skill changes just didn't make the game simpler for me.
