Also with this news I think levitaion will return.
I worry about the open cities and the people being attacked but in Morrowind I dont remember one time when a monster rampaged threw any town.

Re-post from last page.
Like every BGS made game, exteriors are consisted of big cells linked together, there are literally hundreds of them in Fallout 3 and Oblivion that make up the big open wilderness.
In Morrowind, the AI packages of NPCs and creatures did not allow them to travel through these cells, while they could chase you, eventually they would reach the point where they would stop and come back, those limits included cities, once getting near a village / town the NPC / creature would stop chasing you and return to it's original location. Because of that, there were never a single issue with creatures attacking NPCs inside cities.
In Oblivion, this changed, NPCs and creatures could travel through multiple exterior cells and follow you whatever you went.
In Fallout 3, a lot of settlements were wide open, this allowed NPCs and creatures to travel through, occasionally a mad Deathclaw would venture into Girdershade and kill Sierra and Ronald if they were outside of their houses, or attack one of the brahmins located outside.

I wouldn't say levitation is back, there are still some things that limits it. In Morrowind, the mainland was a big island, Vvardenfell. There were no invisible borders or anything like that, it was just endless sea.
In Skyrim, it's pretty logical to say that we are going to have the same invisible walls like Oblivion, bordering the limits of Skyrim. Even with the moutains and such, levitation could take you higher than any of these moutains, allowing you to "break" the natural barriers established by moutains, so we wouldn't have to complain about the invisible intrusive and annoying walls.
So, having levitation spell that could take you to the clouds where you would eventually hit a friggin' invisible wall in the middle of nothing would become a bit annoying, however one can easily not mind it, I wouldn't. But I am just saying that it's still unlikely to say that we are going to have levitation back too.
