The dubbing down for me in Skyrim is a half and half deal the in-world gameplay has improved  greatly from its predecessor Oblivion but its stat wise gameplay has been greatly reduced over the course of two games for a more simplistic field, lesser gameplay styles and less customization based on preferred gameplay style to allow other non RPG players to be able to cope up or adapt well at least I think so I cant really think of any other reason as to why they would take out elements that have been vital to most RPG's and have been in the series for over nineteen years.
