I also really liked this, because in both Morrowind and Skyrim you were the hero from the prophecies, destined to defeat great evil and unite the land, which felt a bit too 'We want to make this RPG epic, so we're going to make the player an epic hero'. In OBlivion, you were an ordinary person who, by their own courage and great deeds, would become legendary. It made your character feel a lot cooler, because they were doing all these feats of strength by themselves, not because a prophecy said they would.
