Morrowind remains one of my favourite games ever. I feel that TES went downhill after that point - they started to be dumbed down for the mass market and features that were commonplace in TES up until that point were removed.
Something i hear very often. I started out with Oblivion, and it was to me a better game than Skyrim for the same reason. I tend to believe people when they say Morrowing was better than Oblivion. I think i got two hours or so in morrowind, never really sat down for it. Perhaps some day.
It's very old school. No hand holding. No map markers. Limited fast travel options. Nothing to stop you butchering people or selling items that are necessary for the quests. You have to live with the repercussions of your actions.
It's far more open than any of the games that followed in the series. It's also the last of the TES games that did not level with your character.
I recommend you give it a go sometime. Once you get past the opening few hours, it's a great experience. Even better after installing the available graphical mods.
