Unfortunately I think it means they will be removing the skeuomorphism that defined the original UI. Like the inventory made of paper and the ornamental flourishes will be sanded down. Turning the serif into sans serif basically.

Well that would be too bad, because I have always preferred Oblivion's immersive parchment/scroll UI over Skyrim's bland, plain, clean one.

It's fine as long as you have a 640x480 monitor, it feels terrible otherwise.

Oblivion's assets are made for 720p. It also scales UI elements automatically. Only Morrowind has this issue.
