whew, i got skyrim the first month that it came out. but didn't play it because i didn't like being told how to my gold, limited traing per level. well, i got tired of playing the fallouts and started to play skyrim. WOW

the graphics are better. i have been casting Conjure Flame Atronach. like the looks of it and they it moves. can't wait until i can the others. get to have sidekicks with names. can stack books in a bookcase. and can stack weapons in a weapon rack.

just to name a few.

Fighting while horseback, conversations, extra skills like mining, perks..hmm that's all I can think of right now.

Controlling the horse with a mouse and not zooming in on mostly static NPCs are the first things to come to mind. I do not at all miss the closeups of the guards' faces.

Freedom of skills, beards, no repair hammers, better looking races (Orcs especially), spells in hand and their pretty effects, etc. etc. as the list is long. There's also a long list of dislikes, especially in removing certain skills and spells but it's a fair trade I guess.

Lots of this^

I didn't like much in oblivion but I feel the rank system (For guilds) should have been in skyrim.
