I liked Morrowind. I thought Oblivion was watered down, mediocre, and dull. Skyrim is much better. The world actually has mood and atmosphere. It's a very bleak and solemn place. I'm enjoying it. The combat has been improved as everything seems more weighty and you have to mind your fatigue. Towns are vastly improved with sounds and chatter. In a tavern, a bard pulled out a lute and began singing a song on request. I don't understand the graphical complaints as it's beautiful and the environments arent generic as they were in Oblivion. I haven't noticed negative effects of level scaling. I came upon a giant and he knocked me backwards, killing me with one hit.
I'm chocking up the overwhelming negativity on this site to the elitist, arrogant attitude of many here who consider themselves to be the only true rpg fans. I've been playing rpg's since Ultima, Wizardry, Eye of The Beholder and such. Go ahead and insult me for not being a regular on an rpg forum. I'd take it as a compliment. Kids here seem to be the types of people that automatically dislike a band if it's popular. Seriously, Skyrim is a good game. It's not as "rpg-ie" stats wise, but for a world of adventure, swords, and sorcery, it's a great time. That said, I did have to update my naga mouse drivers because it was wigging out. I have a GTX580 and run all visuals at max perfectly and it's gorgeous. I'm not satisfied with the leveling system as there are no longer stats such as str, wis, int. It's not so much an rpg anymore as it is an action/ adventure game with rpg elements. Who's to say what an rpg actually is though. If you like immersion, this is far, far better than Oblivion. If you want tons of menus and stats, go install wizardry onto an emulator.
