What's new in this game?

Reading recent patch notes was really overwhelming, so I was hoping that people here could either tell me what's changed in the eight months that I've been away from the game, or point me to somewhere that can. I made a new character, and none of my skills, besides Class skills, were in the skills tab. But when I mined Iron Ore, the Blacksmithing skill line appeared, but when I levelled up heavy armour, that didn't appear in the skills menu. Was there some kind of reshuffling in skills, or is it just a glitch?

I also noticed that weapon, armour and attribute stat numbers were drastically changed. And obviously there's that whole Morrowind thing...

So yeah, I've been gone over half a year and the lack of in-game information in recent changes has left me feeling rather alienated. Pls help!

That is part of the new "Skill Unlocking" mechanism that was included with the Morrowind update:

- Weapon Skills are unlocked when you kill an enemy with that weapon (or read a skill book)
- Crafting skills are unlocked when you use the appropiate station
- Armor skills for wearing 3 pieces of the same type of armor
