That really doesn't improve combat at all. All of the hits feel the same, and it's just irritating that you have to move in a certain direction with certain weapons. Most people will just use the "use best attack function" anyway, and using magic in combat is stupid, as magic doesn't regenerate, so instead you carry around a bunch of enchanted items. In Morrowind, there's not much more to it than mashing the attack button. In Skyrim, at least you can block blows yourself (as opposed to having a chance of blocking), and it you can also use bashes and power attacks to break your opponents flow. The same cannot be said for Morrowind.
