It's striking how many of the things they've changed seem to be slightly for the worse:

  • the lockpicking and persuasion minigames are a little less fun
  • the level-up choices are dumbed down
  • the speed at which you gain levels is even faster
  • the local map is weirdly hard to find for some reason
  • the HUD looks worse
  • there is much telemetry
  • there are framerate problems

Then there are the things I'd have expected them to improve that are unchanged:

  • they didn't give us better difficulty settings
  • there's no walking slowly with the controller
  • level scaling has most (but not all) of the same problems it did
  • the day/night cycle still flies past at hyperspeed
  • horses still report your crimes to the telepathic guards (okay I guess they had to keep that)

Of course there are mods to fix most of those problems. Oblivion is a great game, and it's good to see a lot of new people playing it for the first time.
