i'm not sure if it has anything to do with the graphics or level design or if i'm just having a hard time with my memory lately, but a lot of the dungeons and building interiors in oblivion are extremely difficult to navigate thanks to everything looking very...samey?
also, the wilderness feels pretty bare.
the game does let you fast travel basically anywhere you want to go even without previously going there so long as it's on your map, so that does help, even if it feels kinda like cheating

imo every major city in a TES game should allow you to fast travel to it from the start of the game for free. nothing more, nothing less. skyrim does have the ability to take the carriage to other cities but iirc they're limited, you can only go to cities you've heard of, and it costs gold (though it is fairly cheap)
but it would be nice to have multiple starting points

it would be a happy medium between "fast travel everywhere that has even slightly been mentioned" and "fast travel only to places you've already been" (though you could still do the latter after discovering other less important POIs on your own)

multiple start points is one of my favourite skyrim mods. it allows you to both skip the boring tutorial, and not have to travel halfway across the map right off the bat just to do quests you may not have touched in a previous playthrough.

if you want a mod like this on pc, i recommend https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/272
there's also other options if you search "alternate start" on nexusmods
