Things I miss from Oblivion.....What do you miss?

First off dont get me wrong I really enjoy Skyrim. I have already spent 50 hours playing it. I love the new combat system, And I really LOVE the fact that the world does NOT level with you. But here are some things I feel oblivion had that skyrim does not. Can You think of anything you also Miss from Oblivion?

1. NPC immersion in the world, in oblivion and Morrowind you had the option to talk with EVERY NPC.( Now mind you a lot of them said the same things over and over) But you had the option to speak with everyone and anyone, you could ask anyone you saw about "rumors" or the latest topics etc.

2. NPC immersion with quests. In Oblivion I LOVED to see peoples reaction when completing a quest I loved to hear how they felt about it, specially if I did something they didn't approve of. Now in Skyrim you can complete a quest and you barely hear anything from the NPCS regarding there thoughts and feelings. Normally they say something like " Thankyou so much I will never forget this." But soon as the conversation is over they DO forget and its as if it never happened.
I remember in oblivion when I cleared this woman's house full of animals who where attacking her pet rats. 50 hours later I came back to her house, and she started going on again about how thankful she was and how happy, and that thanks to me she got some new pet rats. And then the whole town was happy because the gross creatures were no longer in her house.. From completing that small question I got a longstanding reaction from the quest giver and the entire town....

There was ALWAYS reactions for what you did in oblivion, when you finished the main story people would call you the hero and would thank you, When you finish the main quest in skyrim nothing really changes. When you become the leader of the mag es guild people sill tell you how you should get check out the mage's hall.... as if you never have been there.

3. You cannot pick up everything. In morrowind and oblivion there was no such thing as a box you couldn't open, I am so tierd of going through houses and caves seeing these huge box type object that are just decoration.

4. Medium armor and 2 ring slots...

5. The towns are boring and somewhat lifeless because of the lack of dialogue you are allowed to have with NPCS.. In oblivion I enjoyed searching and stealing from every store and house.

6.The guild quests are extremely short and the stories aren't very interesting.

7. I cannot stand the radiant quest system, I rather have fewer quest with purpose and story than a butch of " kill, fetch, rescue" missions that never end.

8. Which brings me to my next point, oblivion had unique quests, skyrim has a couple but not very many. In oblivion you had quests that involved solving crimes, detective work, spying on people, discovering who the murderer was, diplomatic things etc. There were a lot of quests that did NOT take you to a dungeon to fetch or kill something. You never knew what to expect with your quests in oblivion.. In skyrim you almost always know what to expect.

9. Journal entries! That was one of the big things that set the elder scrols apart from other games.. The journal entries made you feel like a real person in a real world on a adventure, now all of that is taken away and you are given a pointer.... Its not personal at all... Before the quests where in depth enough to be written about in a journal now (other than a select few) there just objectives, and chores that dont make you feel involved at all.

10. oblivion you could almost harvest every SINGLE plant you saw, and then slowly but surely you can discover all of the abilities the plant had. In skyrim you harvest things but there is a lot less variety. And you can easily figure out all of the abilities of the plant. You dont have to earn it like in oblivion. Plus you cant create your own "special personal" potions. Also I liked haveing the mortor and option to make potions everywhere I went.

Sorry for the rant, again I enjoy skyrim and plan on beating every guild etc, its just sad to me that most of what I loved about oblivion and morrowind has been dumbed down in skyrim. It feels more like a adventure game than a immersive world that I want to help.

This:

"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM"
"MURDER, MURDER"
"BY THE GODS, I'M BEING ATTACKED"
"THERE'S A PICKPOCKET ABOUT; GUARD YOUR PURSES"

... and the whole slew of other nonsense that was blurted out by Oblivion's NPC. Sure, Skyrim has some, but there's less of it.

Also, I found the voice actors in Oblivion more fun to listen to. There weren't as many, I know, but they made the game a lot more enjoyable.

I miss Oblivion's guilds too; Skyrim's are, for the most part, worthy of the chopping block.

I miss the map/quest journal from Oblivion. Of the 3, it's the best imo. There are a few other things, like the mortal/pestal. It's a pain always running home to do my secret magic in my little basement.

The fact the towns in Oblivion were towns and not just a small place of hospitality. Only Whiterun, Solitude and somewhat Windhelm were actual towns in the Skyrim worth exploring, the rest were just small settlements to me.

I still love this game I was just hoping everything will be a tad or much better then Oblivion.

Two words: spell creation.

I miss the map/quest journal from Oblivion.

This, basically...

I miss the Quest Updates; in Oblivion, they told a story, and were worthy of the name Journal Entries...

Now, you get these tiny little objectives, and the "storyline" is so short and basic, and rarely updates, and if it does, it doesn't by much...

That, and the map; I have issues with the local map that I never had trouble with in Oblivion...

But, all aside...Skyrim is still magnificent...

I miss the music, just wandering the country side with some wonderful flute or choir playing. And then a khahjiit comes up to me and asks me to hand over my money...and then one shotting him with my frost spell. And the towns, Anvil and Cheydinhal were so beautiful. The quests were fun, and different. And what I really miss...everything. But the thing I miss the most is having the best save game I could have and being able to get into the game. Now that I've played the shit out of Oblivion, I just can't get into it. Which really upsets me.

People give me recognition of the things ive done, granted not everyone in every place recognizes me, but in my opinion its a bit more realistic. There isn't a tv with the news and my picture so not everyone should know what I've done. After completing the DB questine, everytime I go to solitude people still talk about me being at the wedding, and I finished the DB before the main quest, the thieves guild and the stormcloaks.
