Listening to that long video Luzur linked and this thread, and playing Skyrim, is making me really, really sad.
Morrowind was a piece of art. It was made with what I call love, a quality I see in only the best games. Morrowind's art is in its art design and in its lore. Skyrim is so... so empty. Everything you do is lifeless, cold. There's no meaning or substance there, just... making numbers bigger. There's no emotion, no xenophobia, no melancholy. I miss Morrowind and the drunken guy who wrote the lore they fired.
Now I'm bummed out.

Now I remember why I joined the Codex: I hate people with a burning passion.

But morrowind is very primitive, with shit graphics and combat and lacks action and memorable characters. This game is only glorified by the d&d nerds with severe case of nostalgia. And yes i tried playing that, but as soon as i saw that npcs walk like they have crap in their pants or their robotic dialogue and most importantly unrealistically loud sounds of footsteps or water etc etc, i just couldn't continue playing. This game has excessive amounts of unnecessary skills and attributes, like who the hell needs luck or unarmored, it's NOT PRACTICAL. Looks like developers left their common sense at home when they were making that game. Skyrim is the massive improvement in everything which enabled Bethesda to enter the club of world class game devs. Beth failed us with morrowind and oblivion but they rehabilitated themselves with super awesome skyrim. Im not a hater, i just like the majority of gamers use common sense and logic and am not blinded by nostalgia.
primitive graphics and combat system coupled with unnecessary complicated skills and attributes, the primitive result obtained using overcomplicated calculations... Dice roll combat maybe is some complicated software process...but its primitive from gameplay standpoint
