There are a lot of stuff in Oblivion that really dissapointed me, my sig sums up what I feel about Oblivion. Here's a list.
Huge blunders:
-No "Radiant AI", one of the biggest things I was looking forward to was this incredible AI that was supposed to be in OB, it never came to be.
-The leveling system, god is it awful. The best thing about MW is that it takes time to build a character and if a starting character can go and do everything at day 1, what's the point of leveling? Where's the feeling of accomplishment? Good thing there are mods.
-The guilds and side-quests; Oblivion just lacks them and lacks depth.
Medium blunders:
-Fewer skills, removal of weapons like crossbows, throwing weapons, spears, polearms.
-The combat; It makes for a good hack and slash game, but not for an RPG game the TES series is known for. Magic system has a lot of problems (less spells, overpowered, etc.), though I liked the addition of encumbrance/magic efficiency to help balance.
-Enchanting svcks on top of only equipping 5 pieces
-Too many zones/loading doors, I liked the seamless feel MW has.
-Ugly people, the faces in Oblivion are very unappealing, I've looked for mods none of them really fix it.
-The voice overs; There are too few voice actors in Oblivion and their voices are shared WAY TOO MUCH by the NPCs. Also there is less dialog and makes mods that use dialog stick out.
Small blunders:
-Less armor; a set in Oblivion is only 5 pieces compared to MW's 8 pieces.
-Fast travel only, yes it is optional but I miss silt striders and boats to travel, it made sense and fit the game perfectly.
-Can't sell stolen goods, apparently whenever you steal something it gets contaminated with some sort of scent that only merchants can detect.
-The physics, yes it's nice to see some physics in a TES game, but when you pick up a spoon and the whole table explodes and shifts around, there's a problem.

Those are my major complaints, there's probably more but those stick out in my mind. Oblivion is a fun RPG, but doesn't really feel like the TES series I know.
