Skyrim turning star-signs into shrines was a brilliant move. Didn’t oversimplify their effects, didn’t put the quiz before the lesson, didn’t give you any reason to delete a character and start over. And by making them in-world objects, at disparate locations, you couldn’t just open a menu and rewrite yourself. So much streamlining, especially in the Elder Scrolls, paves over interesting systems in the name of approachability. But occasionally they nail it.

Skyrim had good, smart devs. Starfield didn’t. Skyrim 2 won’t.
Skyrim 2 is just Oblivion 3
Oblivion is just Arena 3 which means Oblivion 3 is just Arena 6
you mean arena 5, surely?
Oblivion is actually Arena 4. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind.
Uh but actually Redguard 2
Daggerfall doesn’t count.
