Core book stats all start at 1 still. Exceptional Attribute is still a quality, and is basically the same as 5th. Orcs max willpower is still 6. Most of that kind of baseline char-gen stuff hasn't changed.
Quick Start rules are Quick Start rules and kinda are doing their own thing. I don't believe the QSR characters really followed any formal Char gen rules, I wouldn't get to wrapped up in reverse engineering them.
