Right. Your chosen class will give you one free skill at creation, but from that point out you can choose whichever skills you want regardless of your chosen class.
From what I recall of the demo, your class does not interfere with which skills you can take, but your stats do play a role. So while a Fighter can take magic skill ranks, he probably won't have the stats to really benefit the magic ranks, and by taking one set of skills you sacrifice another. So the fighter can learn magic, but probably won't be as good at it and will have given up at least one other fighter-oriented skill to take the magic.
It all struck me as more a balancing game than your class by it's nature interefering with choices.

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning. And the sea's asleep and the rivers dream … People made of smoke and cities made of song … Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold!

I'll have to read the manual and study it a bit since there is only one person doing stuff. I think I'd tend toward a thieving mage or ranger/mage or healer. I like long distance killing of enemy, ie. with bows or xbows and of course long distance spells. I'm not into fight close and ask questions later type.
I think I'm going to have to get braces for my wrists to keep carpal tunnel to a minimum, what with playing Escalon AND Avernum 5.
