"A thief should not be able to cast a level 30 fireball or an assassin should not be able to have a 100 in warhammer or heavy armor."

Why not. These are people we are playing not cookie cutter charecters. If you are a skinny weakling who spent his school days reading books and learning spells whos to say you can't start working out in a gym taking a few fencing classes and become pretty darn good with a sword and better able to carry those heavy tomes around.

I think the idea is that you only advance in a area if you use that area so why shouldn't you be able to spend 20hrs relearning a set of new skills. It wont just happen.
In morrowind I did the whole warrior thing but friends enjoyed making potions, I then spent days doing minor mage quests and using those skills to get good enough to be able to use this feature as well.

Also remember you most likely will not have chosen them as major skills therefor it will be all the more difficult to atain ie more rewarding.

If you play long enough that you get to master level in more than your chosen starting profession that will probally equate to hundreds of hours of play, you should be a demi-god. People should quake in there boots at your presence, in nothing else for fame stat will probally be through the roof

Choice and freedom seems to be what Bethesda are on about and I think they are spot on
