Ah, well, and Gothic had horrible controls according to various reviewers. It was still a better game than Morrowind. RoA had, in my opinion, a fantastic atmosphere, which more than made up for any shortcomings in other areas. (And I never played any P&P, so that's not an argument as far as I'm concerned)RoA? That game was an excelsheet-experiment gone horribly wrong. The pixeled mess with unusable ui that they called combat was dated during release allready. Not to mention other things the whole series got nothing but bad reviews.

Woah there. I'm actually speechless.
Those points are probably all valid from today's point of view. Thing is, you could probably apply them or similar points to other old gamest too, because they all had flaws.
And things like "combat takes too long" in a game with tactical, turn-based combat is just backwards. I guess some reviewers were totally sold on real time even in those olden times.
Thank goodness for differences of opinion, it was still my favorite series.
People who argue with the graphics are hard to discuss with. I think that a great visual presentation is by far the less important thing a good crpg must have.
