Alright look here son, I do see the validity in part of your argument, but, there are many flaws in your logic. This includes your "30 years ago" statment, using specific vocations for levels, and how you think using the wrong vocation will "skrew up" your charecter then forcing you to start the game over.

The vocation system they developed is quite open-ended, you start with 3 basic classes, blast through 10 lvls and can switch to an advanced or hybrid vocation if you so choose. Oh, and 30 years ago there was'nt a game that came near close to the level of intricity put into this vocation set up.

On another note you really don't need to be concerned with optimal stats, I know people whom have used on vocation till lvl 90 and have pretty solid stats. In essence you dont need to use a diff. vocation till 90 then a diff one for the next 100, why would you? There for it is not "Contradictory" or "counter-intuitive", also statistically most people find it a very intuitive, and easy to use.

The last point I would like to solidify is your thought that your would have to start the game over due to stats, one there is no way you can mess them up to that extream, unless you use a mage for more than 100 lvls then think "oh I ment to be a fighter" or some shit like that. Also why would you start over? Its Dragons Dogma, I dont know if you've realized, but a dogma is in fact a never ending cycle, or repition of events/practices. The game just re-starts in the end haha.

Well anyways if you had taken the time to read the article at the top you would realize that this stat system was encorperated into the vocation system so if a play say wanted his magic defense higher, and played as an Assassin you could switch over to a mage, or magic archer for a couple levels and boost it up.

On one last note you are correct in the fact that they really could have done a much better job in the vocation and stat department, but hey, it isnt broke so dont try to fix it.
