I believe most of the "generic" discussion revolves around the use of the mainstays of fantasy with less variation from the norm when compared to earlier titles, especially Morrowind. For instance the locational setting in 4 is more or less your standard medieval fantasy while 3's environment is seemingly more exotic. Whether one setting is better or more immersive is the matter of opinion.
