That said classes did have variety and different stats that they relied upon which you could reset by building up reset points or something like it, so if you wanted to be a warrior or whatever you'd need/level up STR and Dex and stuff and if you switched to thaumaturge you'd need to reset your points to be INT and stuff like that.

Honestly, anyone that prefers 1.0 to 2.0 is welcome to their opinion but it's an objectively terrible opinion, 1.0 died for a reason and returning 2.0 to that kind of wasted existence would decimate the playerbase and destroy the game.
This clip shows me pretty much everything I need to know about what playing 1.0 was like frankly. Honestly everything I've heard about 1.0 from both outside sources and friends makes it sound like a god damned nightmare to play. I'm glad it appealed to some people, but the game wouldn't have flopped so hard if something wasn't wrong with it.
