I think that the difference between the environments in Oblivion and its sequel Skyrim are a good place to research what makes a good 3D environment.
A deeper look into the differing methods used by artists will be helpful, such as the fact that all environments in Skyrim will be put together by artists rather than using the procedural generation of Oblivion. So far the game looks much richer and more like a living world. I think this will help players to get immersed in the game and that highlights the importance of environment design in games, applicable to the rationale of my research project.
I will carry out very thorough 'research' on the game when it comes out in November. :D
