    Have to say it. Morrowind was one of the first RPGs I ever played, and that kind of spoiled me for what I expect from a fantasy world. I don't want medieval middle of someplace vaguely european, like skyrim and oblivion were. They were fine, I enjoyed them, but they didn't capture my full attention with the worldspace the way Morrowind did. I think part of why it was so interesting and captivating was because the more familiar, real world aspects, like the imperial forts and towns, were so starkly contrasted against the environment that it was clear they were colonizers. I'll always remember going to Sadrith Mora for the first time, thinking "oh cool. A castle. Never seen this before", stepping outside the tower walls and seeing the great hecking mushrooms curling up from the earth and being met with a dude wearing whole ass BUG as a helmet.

    To be fair playing Skyrim (Without DLC'S) when I was 8 on a dusty old Xbox 360 felt like pinnacle of gaming. I played it for hundreds of hours (Like always not killing Alduin cuz fuck that guy?) and the game truly helped me through my hard childhood, the game has a special place in my heart and nothing will change it but like a year ago when I was 16 I decided to pick up Morrowind for the first time, man did that feeling return when I first turned on Skyrim. For all it's jank (I fucking hate when there are no markers) there is certain beauty in the game and it just captivated me, the entire prophecy of the Nerevarine and Dagoth Ur just surprised me because I never played Elder Scrolls necessarily for it's story telling but Morrowind felt different. Morrowind Imo is by far the best TES we have then Skyrim, sorry Oblivion fans but I could never get past the shit leveling system in it

    i would personally place Oblivion at #1 because, to me, Oblivion IS Elder Scrolls. it combines things I like from Morrowind and Skyrim, with just the right amount of everything else to make it incredibly enjoyable. the world is vibrant and beautiful, the guild quests are the best in the series to date (no TES game will ever top the thieves guild finale), the music is amazing, you get Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart, and it has some of the most fun quests in the series.

    Morrowind is such a magical experience. Sure, gameplay is the jankiest of the 3d games, but the world and most quest were fascinating. While Skyrim may not had a great story, the worldbuilding, side stories and additional content (like survival mode, becoming a Vampire or a Wolf) gave more depth to the game.

      Morrowind is in contention with New Vegas for my favorite game ever. Skyrim is ok but it starts to feel like Groundhog Day after a few quests and dungeons. I played several hundred hours of Oblivion, but it was very bland, and I can't really get back into it even though I need to play the dlc's at some point. There are things I like more about all of them, but I am not a fan of the post Morrowind direction. Apparently, many Daggerfall fans feel the same about Morrowind. It's a shame we can't all get the game we want.😢

    Morrowind was my entry to the franchise. One thing that has stuck with me all these years, was that unlike the main guilds (fighters, mages, thieves) which appeared in the citys to join, there was also mention of an assassin guild. Whithout quest makers I literally had to go around talking to npcs an collecting hints until i finally tracked them down to the sewers in Vivec where in a small room i found a locked trapdoor, inside i founs the hq of the Morag Tong assassins.

    I like Morriwind and oblivions story and dungeons more than Skyrim but Skyrim has better combat its more fun. Oblivion combat is okay but morriwinds is just not responsive and kinda extra janky. Most of skyrim dungeons are really bland except for a few like blackreach, the atherium wars quest and some from Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC. As someone who has 600+ hours in the game on pc alone not including Xbox 360/PC (LE)/PS4/series x I really like Skyrim but i know its not the best of the series my brain is just too zoomer to play morriwind so i watch people play it on youtube.

    My rankings of best to worst are 1) Oblivion 2) Morrowind 3) ESO 4) Skyrim . I have never gotten the opportunity to play arena and daggerfall for myself so I'm leaving those out.
    Skyrim is full of soulless quests and marked the beginning of game studios prioritizing graphics over content. The game was good in general as an rpg, but it's the weakest elder scrolls title. Nearly every quest in the game is some variation of the same: go to this cave, kill draugr, come back. It was completely lifeless compared to Oblivion.
    You may have a preference for skyrim's setting versus oblivion's and I respect that, but as a whole Skyrim is the weakest installment. It doesn't come close to any of the others. Even ESO has more depth in some of its questlines than Skyrim did and I 100%d Skyrim. Oblivion has also aged much better than Skyrim. I can replay it forever. The stylized graphics aged well, while Skyrim feels clunky and looks visually dated because it chose to go the "emulate realism" route instead of a soulful stylized route.

    Oblivion is comparable to Fallout New Vegas in terms of fun and well made games. Skyrim is equivalent to Fallout 4. Fan service, a shell of what made the game popular. I got it, the two brought more fans to the franchise but those games are far easier and more convenience based compared to their peers.

      And yeah while the Oblivion Gates weren't that diverse, they were fun and only a few dozen could appear at max. By that metric Skyrim's dragons are way more repetitive.
      I also liked how natural the caves felt in Oblivion. In Skyrim I knew every cave would loop back on itself and that took a lot of the fun of exploring away.
      I didn't address sound before so I'll just say I love the Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim sound tracks. Not sure I could pick a favorite.
