"This {in the worst interpretation of the situation) seems more like your picking an archtype for the class, with only the illusion of choice behind it."
I totally agree with it. And i feel this even in the fighter.
While i definitely like the general/skill/class feat idea, i have the feeling that my characters are somehow "less cool" than pathfinder 1 characters.
Plus, there are some class feats that i really don't see anyone getting, like Barbarian Lv 2 Internal Fortitude or Paladin Lv 4 Divine Health. They are good, they make sense to the class, but they aren't cool as something more active like No Escape, Acute Scent or even Divine Health.
I think people will mostly go around with the class feats that add to their "principal" build most of the levels. Right now there are levels that you don't find anything that seens to "continue" a path that you chose at level 1, and you can go back and geat a class feat from a previous level (a crossbow ranger gets on lvl 6 and then picks Animal Companion, for example), but with new class feats being released, soon there will be no opportunity to get a feat from previous levels.
