A while back, I was talking to some people at a bar and the discussion turned to Skyrim Vs Oblivion, with Oblivion being the table's preference due to being less dumbed down than Skyrim. I chipped in something like "if that's what you like about games, then Morrowind's where it's at", to which someone quipped "you're showing your age there".

I admit, I took a little bit of psychic damage from that. I'm only 29, so pretty young compared to most Morrowind fans, but I was the second oldest person in this discussion. Part of me still thinks of Zoomers as teenagers

    Be careful with that. Morrowind is one of those games that it is very easy to lose hours of time, and not notice. I set timers now.

    Oblivion is enough of a disaster implementation-wise that technically having greater mechanical complexity doesn't concern me in the slightest. And Oblivion's writing is, to me, a low point in both the series and Bethesda's body of work as a whole. Skyrim's writing isn't amazing, but the moment-to-moment gameplay being less frustrating gives it the win for me, between the two.

    Morrowind is great, though. Probably the best world building I've seen in a game.
