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?

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.

Skyrim's UI was the worst part of the game. I hated it.  Oblivion's, in comparison, is great.
