I think what's disappointing thflame is that a 20th level fighter isn't actually much stronger than a level 1 fighter.
In Pathfinder 1.0, you knew you were high level because you had enough carrying capacity to push or drag the International Space Station, or because your wizard was smarter than God. In 2.0, you'll be capable of epic feats of might and magic and magical might and mighty magic . . . but your stats won't reflect it. And it does seem sort of strange that a high level character who's legendary in Athletics can take a skill feat to lift and throw a mountain or whatever, but because of how the stat system works she won't actually have a higher STR mod than the STR based ranger in the party with no such mountain chucking prowess.
I wish they would just stake the heart of ability scores once and for all.
