Bethesda taking initiative to stomp out bugs that have been ever so prevalent in previous releases which is a big plus in my books. Also, gay marriage, ala Fable, which isn't ground breaking but I guess a good move anyway.
Oh, also, Skyrim DLC will be available 30 days sooner (again) on Xbox 360 than anywhere else. http://www.1up.com/news/skyrim-dlc-xbox-36-month-early
