I'm in the same boat. I'm really looking for some epic game to play for Christmas because I won't have the time to play anything of that size until semester break in late february. I didn't like Oblivion either.

Here's my list of complaints (I put a "fixed" behind the things I know they worked on):

Technically: Pop-ups (fixed), animations (fixed to some degree), dialogue.

Atmosphere: (see above), generic world (fixed?), generic dungeons, pretty empty overworld.

Gameplay: Leveling, no real sense of progression for the game was getting easier if you were on a low level, simply being thrown into the world (I like freedom but I want the world to be somewhat broken up into easy and hard regions)

Other: The german voice acting was horrible and the translation was mindblowingly bad. A small potion was called "Schwacher Tr. d. Le. En. Rückgew." (and that was one of the easier ones) and they called the healing spell "fireball"...

I feel like they fixed most of the bad things but I don't have the time to put more than 1 hour a day into the game, not even during Christmas. I'm afraid the game will be too "hardcore" for me for that was what mainly kept me from liking Oblivion.

Anyone who felt the same about Oblivion but likes Skyrim?
