Am I a terrible person for thinking most of that actually sounds good? Oblivion was full of clutter. A little streamlining won't do it any harm.

I mean:

"no medium armor, no mysticism, no hand-to-hand, no atheltics, and no acrobatics"

Is that REALLY bad? It means no more jump spamming and summon skeleton spamming to level up.

Or they could have taken another route that would also avoid jump and summon skeleton spamming such as you level up an attribute, you get even less exp per action, kinda like every modder did for Oblivion. But I understand Bethesda's line of thought, that would have been much of an hassle and modders will eventually put that system in place in Skyrim. 

Vanilla Oblivion was indeed full of clutter, but with the right mods (which Added things, they didn't streamline anything or removed anything) it became a bliss, even surpassing Morrowind in a lot of aspects.

It's Bethesda's job to make a brilliant game, and the modders' job to make it better.

They shouldn't be saying "nah, we'll leave that in, the modders will fix it", because that can only lead to disaster.
