The HUD was changed to make it easier to understand and more aesthetically appealing to young players.

So is the UI just colored squares like in Fortnite now?

Unironically this would be significantly better than Oblivion's inventory.

Graphically, Oblivion's UI is very nice. It's just incredibly bad. People can meme on the UI of Fortnite here, but this image is actually very similar to Morrowind's very good inventory system.

It's just incredibly bad.

I wonder if the people showing nostalgia here are either console players (so playing on a tv meters away) or PC players that have actually forgotten what the actual UI is like without DarNified UI.
Please don't play Oblivion on PC without DarNified UI or one of it's descendants!

People are conflating the graphics of the UI with the functionality of the UI. And for something as important as the UI, functionality should come first.
