Actually, you *can* specialize now in one or two weapons or spells. The problem is, you don't have many skill points left over to do pretty much anything save the the "necessity" skills. The ability to experiment is missing; and some of the skills are badly in need of tweaking. Pickpocketing is outrageously powerful. Lockpicking doesn't work.
But the game is extremely good. At this point, it's a matter largely of balance, and I suspect Larian will get the mix right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
