Most of them are adapting to the console experience loosing much of what made them nice for PC before. The audience has changed much as well. Games like morrowind can feel too tedious to the larger audience. I feel that skyrim went tries to satisfy both ends, and obviously falls a bit short in both ends. Some ppl might find it boring, while others (like you and me) feel like RPG elements such as crafting/enchanting should be better implemented to reward people who are willing to spend hours on them. | |

You can't have primary or secondary skills. Everything is a lot simpler, easier, less complex. The GUI is slower (alchemy in oblivion was lightning fast). It's not as bad as Deus Ex -> Deus Ex II, but I do experiment the same idea of console-oriented development, but luckily not taken as far. | |
