Simple gameplay mechanics (and the evidence does rather point that way) wouldn't be so bad if they make the game rich and full of clever and good quests. I found Oblivion, and to an extent Morrowind, could get a bit samey. Go there, get this, kill that, rinse, repeat. While the occasional quest really shone for imagination (the silent pilgrimidge in morrowind, sheogorath's quest in Ob). More of them and lots of juicy lore would make it a good game even if they wreak the level system.

There's no reason, barring lazyness and/or incompetance, that it shouldn't be lore rich and clever. Beth took a pounding over Oblivion and SI was better, they might well have learnt their lesson. If a complex level system turns poepple off a game then it's a pity but they do have to sell the thing.

Saying that I do really hope that there are required skill levels for advancing in guilds (or at least quests which are genuinly too hard to do without the higher skills). Head of the fighters guild at level 8 always seemed silly to me.
