    Morrowind was better than oblivion and Skyrim. Skyrim was good but Morrowind was so well done.

      Morrowind had a decent story and great world building but the mechanics were absolute shit.

        Other than the roll to hit mechanic (which would be pretty cool if paired with parry and dodge animations), which mechanics were “absolute shit”?

        The absolute shit mechanics had some kernels of gold though. I loved my Fortify Strength 100 Jump 100 spell and my 10 chaingun lightning amulets. Very few games let you do properly weird stuff with magic.

        Levitate on up to the top of my Telvanni tower and tell that to my face—oh wait, you can’t!

            Touché, but not even a horse can get you through a hole in the middle of a room’s ceiling.

            Also, there were other things that were mechanically better about Morrowind, such as its much more interesting/immersive fast travel system.
