My point exactly. Oblivion simplified stuff that didn't need to be simplified, while Skyrim did it to things that, quite frankly, needed it (although the inventory could still use a overhaul for PC users). Not being set in a generic western fantasy helped a lot too.

(And yeah, the Morrowind modders are amazing. Dynamic shadows, godrays, bloom/HDR, etc. on an engine from 2002, all made by the community)
