Whether or not you thought the voice actors were better doesn't change the fact that there are about 4 of them, except for Uriel, Martin, and Lachance, and cities are populated by people conversing with what seems to be themselves. Skyrim does a much better job with both number of voice actors and making sure the similar sounding ones are spread out around the world.

@Assassin'sArt That thing about Roman culture is blown way out of proportion by most high school and college courses. They did assimilate cultures but only in that they were made part of the Empire, the main Italian/Rome culture was considered the pure Roman culture and most of those considered citizens, who were allowed to vote and be in the legion, were from that area. Assimilated cultures could be in the military but were called auxiliaries and weren't as well trained or equiped as the citizen legions. Realistically they wouldn't have accepted outside cultural influence into mainstay Roman culture, i.e. the culture of the Gauls which was apart of the Empire didn't change the culture of Rome.

As for the legion armor I'll put pictures of a comparison between Morrowinds and Oblivions together, you can look up Skyrim's here. To me they pretty much just look like knights with the perfunctery Roman Skirt Thing to be like no they are totally Imperial look. Keep in mind the time gap between Morrowind and Oblivion is supposed to be like maybe 10 or 20 years which is like no time at all.
