Aye, I agree. Not only do you not get any consequences from your actions, the entire world follows the same path. Like, you just killed the Emperor, yet only guards seem to know anything at all about it. However, getting less freedom in the next game sounds unlikely due to Bethesda's "keep it simple" attitude (not considering the amout of content the games have regardless of the improvements they can make).
