** And while simply selecting an item takes it out of containers, selecting an item while a container is open will use it (unlike Oblivion, where it put it away). This can range from a minor annoyance (wearing the armour you were giving your companion) to a major one (accidentally eating the daedra hearts you wanted to save for armour, without even noticing). This does not apply to the trade interface, even if you might want it to (e.g. you bought some spell tomes and want to use them, but also want to sell off some of the moderately-expensive skill books you've acquired, and you bought the tomes first so the merchant would have enough money for this).

Whoops. |

To make a short list; the overall world design is much more [[Dung Ages]] than the high fantasy style of ''Oblivion'', two large towns are [[Wretched Hive|Wretched Hives]], there is much more [[Fantastic Racism]] going on, more [[Gray and Grey Morality]], and more bloody/gory bits in dungeons. |
