I've reached a point where I just don't fuck with these first person walking simulators anymore. They're so mind-numbingly boring, I can't handle it. That being said, I'm neutral on the OP's comments. Hard to disagree with him though when I have yet to see a single comment refuting the points that OP has made to explain why Morrowind is such a good game.
Do a search.
Don't get me wrong, I've heard all about how amazing the quests, writing, cities, cultures, etc are. The question is whether or not those things are enough to redeem the game from all the complaints OP has.

It's not hard to disagree at all, most of the complaints revolve around tech limitations of the time, and his criticism of the dialogue system is completely off base. He doesn't even understand that the point was not to entertain, like you were watching the idiot box, but inform the player and provide (admittedly shitty) social gameplay options. Like usual bethesda fucked up by failing to just refine a good idea from a previous game (daggerfall's npc interaction was much better).
If he wants cinematic npc interaction like a faggot he should stop playing RPGs and just get a netflix account
And those complaints are invalid because??? Just because issues exist due to the time in which a game was created, doesn't mean that the game gets a "pass" in those areas when it is objectively being reviewed x years after its initial release. As I said, it comes down to whether the positive qualities of the game redeem the negative ones. I would agree and say that this thread is kind of redundant as this topic has already been touched upon, but I'm inclined to agree with op and say Morrowind is just meh. Maybe I'll push myself to get past the starting area of the game one day.
