Morrowind is older than many in this thread. It was a great game but I really don't understand why people think it was way better than its sequels.
Morrowind was the first of the ES series where they drastically reduced the area but invested more in the content in that area. It had a unique art style and location. It kept most of the complexity of the prior games in the series, while subsequent games heavily simplified things to cater to console gamers. There are a lot of babies that were thrown out with the bathwater after Morrowind. Of course the later games also added a lot of improvements, but I think for its time, Morrowind was a very good game. It depends on preferences, but I would consider it the best game of the ES series relative to when it was launched.
Fair enough. I loved it. Had never played a game like that. I was definitely under the impression that these were mostly PC games. I had a lot of fun with Morrowind and played oblivion a bit too. I didn't see a ton of difference in them. Then Skyrim for me was absolutely incredible. Besides the bugs (which I barely ever saw myself) I didn't see a single reason people talked so much smack about that game.
Because it is.
Left click on zombie has better graphics, and that's it.
Rather than saying it's better than say Oblivion, I'm saying it's closest (among the ES games) to being what I'd want out of an "ultimate" ES game. Oblivion has mods that fix its bixest shortcoming (OpenCities and various magic mods) but I'm not inclined to give Bethesda credit for the work of modders.
