As for your technical issues, I would dig a little deeper, and try to find the root of the problem. Is your game up to date? Is your Steam client? I played Skyrim for about 2 months, offline (had moved, internet took forever to get hooked up), without a single issue.
The inventory is what it is, I'd suggest installing mods to tweak it. I suggest using this thread to find what you need, I personally use the mod that was suggested on the Escapist, and have been very happy with it. Definitely play it with mods, you'll find your experience greatly improved by them.
As for the representation of the Mer, I get where you're coming from, but I would argue that they've greatly improved simply with a different facial appearance. Mer look much more alien now in Skyrim than they did in Oblivion. I loved the Dunmers' voices in Morrowind, though. Not sure what your objection to facial hair on Mer is, though. This isn't Tolkien, this is the Elder Scrolls. Mer have always had facial hair in TES lore.
Finally, Dawnguard will be released soon, so you aren't done yet.

If you enjoyed Skyrim, you might want to get Oblivion, it's loads of fun too. Just make sure you mod the beejesus out of it.

Thanks for the thread. I will look into it. I am planning a heavily modded game now with around 20-30 mods. As for the elves, this is the 1st Elder Scrolls game I play, so I am not used to this kind of elves! Not a serious issue though, although I must say i much prefer the Tolkien-like elves absence of beards!
