Probably, but thats beside the point.

That's exactly the point. You do realize that the difference between someone sinking all their starting points into attributes and someone sinking all their points into skills and talents isn't that big of a deal?

Lets say that someone does a human with extra obligation for 110 points. Putting them all into attributes, means 2/2/3/3/3/3. Assuming that you choose your career wisely, at best you'll have two skills at Y Y and a G and two with a Y and G G (whoops - forgot about the freebie human non-career skill at Y and G G).

Now, assuming you leave all attributes at 2/2/2/2/2/2, you'll have two skills at Y Y and two skills at Y G. Having one green difference is not that insurmountable a gap between the two hypothetical characters. Anyone at my table feeling shafted over such a minor difference needs to put the Big Boy pants on and shut the hell up.
