Doing the quests got me skill points and gold, which I then spent on the skills in the order I wanted, instead of getting random crap (For my character design) that I had no intention of using any time soon. Then I went back and got the rest when I felt like it. Huge improvement in my opinion.
I got skills faster than in Prophecies, not slower. And I got the ones I wanted first, instead of piles of fire skills on my Geomancer who didn't get a basic attack spell until halfway through the game.
