---Bigger Trees
---Taller Trees
---Closed canopy
---More variety in forest type - old growth with massive trees, younger forests with smaller, thicker trees and undergrowth, wooded swamps & bogs
---More variety in color (seems Oblivion always had that same shade of green going on, and was never as lush as it could have been)
---More structure - meaning downed trees, gnarly root masses, branches, logs, gullies, keep the boulders, hollow logs and stumps, make use of terrain/topography, etc.
---Interactive - possibly make trees climbable, but otherwise some big hollow logs you can crawl through, or a half-fallen tree you can walk up like a ramp.... etc.
---Ambiance - fireflies & dragonflies (depending on how cold it really is), birds, little critters, birdsong, falling leaves (though most trees would be conifers), etc.
---Really magical places - beautiful streams, dramatic waterfalls, forested cliffsides & mountainsides
---Continue using man-made structure - ancient stairways & bridges in the woods (make them actually look old!)
...and the like........
