Elder Scrolls never had Dexterity or Constitution as attributes. You're thinking of D&D, methinks. Besides, streamlining isn't the same as dumbing down (contrary to what Oblivion might make one believe). Weather effects would be nice, but does it really matter if it's through attribute penalties or more direct manipulation (lowered speed, blurry screen, lowered attack speed, etc)?
