Teleportation is bad, because either NPCs use it, which is annoying, or they don't use it, which doesn't make sense.
Maybe it could have been implemented as a high-rank reward in a Temple faction.

I heard that there are some risks of using teleportation spell in one of the Might and Magic games. If your level or experience or whatever with the spell is low, you might end up in wrong places. Perhaps that is the kind of thing that should have been done. Teleporting yourself to wrong locations, losing some equipment maybe or teleporting equipment to another far place where you can reclaim as long as you get there in a timely fashion.

However, Oblivion's target audience would not like that because it's too hard, and it requires them to think which is very bad.

I'm actually surprised at how many people talk about Morrowind like it was a great game.
The strong point of MW is the rich and deeper settings and lore.
On the 'technical' aspect, both MW and OB are blown away by the Gothic series
Plus in OB the setting is pretty lame and the lore is almost inexistent...
Morrowind had nearly all the faults of Oblivion, just not quite as pronounced. And it had lousy dungeons.
Fact is, I expected those 'faults' fixed, not enlarged, plus a whole new set of flaw coming from the idiotic idea of making the game "IDIOT PROOF tm"
