AC combat makes for some neat kill animations and fits the game well for what it is, but it's really shallow and all too easy to overwhelm an enemy. One specific instance in Brotherhood (without spoiling anything) I was fleeing some guards and was thrown from my horse and I was able to stand there and defeat dozens of enemies. No matter how many enemies surround you, only one can attack at a time and you can then mow people down. It wouldn't matter if you are facing 2 enemies or 200. For the most part, I think Oblivion's combat worked better for what it does than would have AC's combat if put into Oblivion.
