A lot of those things (ESPECIALLY athletics, acrobatics, haggling/desposition) are either completely useless or in the case of haggling just a plain stupid concept. There are also PLENTY of different armor types, hand crafted dungeons, more unique cities (seriously, each city in this game has their own personality compared to the somewhat bland Oblivion cities), still plenty of factions, and plent of spells and enchantments (sure, they removed a few effects but they were rather minimal and they added almost as much as they took out).
