Beign a huge Morrowind fan I always look at that as their greatest achievement, but in reality I think Daggerfall might be their best game
While some of their systems were a bit undercooked (such as sociak skills) the game itself is an enormously fantastic sandbox and while it fails in some ways at least it tried to reach for the stars.
After watching an excellent video about the “evolution” of both the TES series and Bethesda I got the itch tp replay Daggerfall and playing over the weekend on a shitty laptop I was so hooked with the setting, the character development, the labyrinthian dungeons, the mature themes... it is damn excellent and frankly might be their best game
I tend to think of the decline of Bethesda coming after Morrowind but since Howard the Toad already was on board with Morrowind I guess the decline started right there
