Luckily - for me at least - the combat is nothing like Oblivion, as I found that trite.

Sword combat is point and click, and by clicking on an enemy in specific intervals you're character will perform combinations doing more damage.
You have 3 fighting styles for Steel and Silver - all of which are good against some types of enemies, so you have to know (or read in-game, or deduct) which style to use against which and which weapon.
Also some magical ability with "signs", so you can cast some spells.
Plus the fun with alchemy which - if playing on the harder settings - is a good thing to "know".

As for view points there are 3 forms of viewpoints, but neither of them alters the combat towards Oblivion.
