Wow. I'm truly surprised to hear you speak that highly of Skyrim, Dart! Glad youre having fun w/ it ='.'=
Thanks
It's all down to personal preferences, I suppose. It just hits all the right notes for me.
I'm primarily an explorer and a game mechanics guy - and in that way, the game is just absolutely superb compared to their past efforts. Fallout 3 was similarly strong in some ways, but I'm not a fan of the post-apoc setting and I don't think they handled balance very well.
Beyond that, it's just beautifully realised compared to what they did in the past. Finally, it doesn't have a single major weak point as far as I'm concerned. Lots of little annoyances - but unlike ALL their past games, it holds together with bravado. At least, that's what I think.
Morrowind had its good points (the lore and the setting for those into weird stuff) - but it had certain abysmal elements I couldn't get past - like the combat system and the incredibly stilted and dull NPCs.
As much as I believe in subjectivity - I can't quite wrap my head around why anyone would consider Morrowind superior. It just goes to show how different we each respond to various stimuli
