You forgot to mention the streamlining of what equipment is actually able to be used together. In Morrowind, you could have a full set of clothes on plus your armor set over it, allowing for much more customization of enchantments and basic appearance of your character. Theres also the melding of armor pieces into fewer and fewer categories. In Morrowind, you had a left and right pauldron, left and right glove, chest plate, greaves, boots, and then your helmet. Oblivion? Helmet, chest, gloves (as a set), boots (as a set), and then greaves. With Skyrim, they went ahead and melded your greaves, chest plate, and pauldrons together into a set. Hell, for the most part you can't even pick individual shirts and pants in Skyrim.
