I like morrowind, oblivion and skyrim all the same for different reasons.

[SethCreiyd]

Morrowind remains one of my favorite works of art, and thanks to the care of fans it's only improved with age, though these days it's a bit harder to get running properly.  For all it's flaws, it was a project undertaken for its own sake, with great attention to detail designed to bring life to the lore on which it was based.  This shows, and Vvardenfell has a feeling of being real as a result.

Skyrim reminded me of Fable.

I loved the little ridiculous moments of useless in morrowind: sleeping on a mushroom and waking up to a nice, scenic moonrise (and a cliff racer). Dressing in your finest clothing to meet your noble sponsor or in elegant black for a sacred mission of the Morag Tong. Blowing your hard-stolen profits on skooma and ending up sleeping in the Vivec sewer with the other junkies.

The skill system let me level it naturally in the process. Keeping myself from getting too powerful was a near constant goal.

Conversely who doesnt cast muffle over and over in skyrim getting endless levels in illusion,

Morrowind. My Morrowind house was a vampire lair in some Dwemer ruin. I killed the vampires, but left the thralls as my servants. Lit the place with stolen candles. It was cozy.

In skyrim you get a naggy spouse and a house that looks like all the other houses as far as I can tell.

Plus, Morrowind let you find discover the story on your own, at your own pace. Skyrim ha-DRAGONS AND BURNING AND RUN AWAY! ISN'T THIS AWESOME???!? (Oh, and Skyrim also directly lied to you the instant the tutorial was over.)

I skipped Oblivion when I saw that they made Dunmer bulbous-looking inky fish people. Pass. Horse Armor.

[MrWiggles]

I will have to contest about the houses in Skyrim all looking the same. Each one is different.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Also, I really liked that if you paid attention to Morrowind's story you'll know that:

Vivic and co. murdered you in a past life and Dagoth Ur was your best friend who wanted to keep them from gaining the kind of power they shouldn't have.

Gives the whole story a different light.

I will admit I couldn't make it past the tutorial, but watching someone else play I didn't see much spectacular about his housing arrangement vs the blacksmith shop. If I'd played through it maybe I'd have seen more, but that was long past the bluh bluh dragons! bit where I turned the game off and went outside.

Another reason I liked Morrowind. Containers and dungeons never lost contents, you can make anything your "home" if you wanted.

Places I've holed up include:
-Hllalu Manor: Some random key gives you access to this place. I did not know that the guy who lived there was still there while doing so. I'm sure he had questions about the gigantic piles of stuff in his bedroom amongst a big sleeping Nord.
-Cave north of Caldera Mine. I dunno why I was drawn to it the first time, and I'm living in it again in my second playthrough. It's actually a really convenient location, with immediate access to Balmora, Ald'rhun (if you take a short walk), and of course, Caldera. Lots of storage but nice and compact.
-Noob cave at Seyda Neen. Who hasn't made this their early base of operations?


Wonder if there's any mods for Skyrim and Oblivion that make this possible. I suppose it's a moot point now that you can actually buy a house of your own...

Oh yeah, that was awesome. I really loved the ambiguity of the plot, the grey-and-grey morality of it. Vivec et al. are a bunch of assholes lying through their teeth and Dagoth Ur believes himself to be the good guy, he wants to free his people form the occupation by a foreign power and lead them away from the worship of false gods. Compare that to the fecal matter that is the plot of Oblivion. Demons from hell are invading! Why exactly? Nobody really tells you at any point. And Skyrim? Dragons are invading, led by a big black dragon who eats dead people's souls! Why? Again, nobody tells you.
And if you paid attention to the lore books scattered about, you'll know that

Vivec is aware that he's in a videogame and has access to the Construction Set. I love Michael Kirkbride. I wish they'd get him back, because he was clearly the only competent writer they had.

...Wait wait, what? Which books exactly? O.o

Time to get Dark Elf Supermage and visit my giant library and check all the books. Did I mention earlier that my Dark Elf Supermage had whole dwemer ruin dedicated for book storage? For example, I had complete selection of '36 Lessons' plus few books that I never found again (Book With No Name, or that theatre-play book about adventurers in jungle).

PS: Morrowind books FTW. I simply loved 'True Barenziah' and 'Poison Song' series.

 The fact that you could place anything anywhere and it would not disappear was sort of a design oversight, as this would eventually lead to instability on the X-BOX version due to memory being taken up. With the addition of more physics engine stuff and peoples weapons being disarmed I don't think you could get away without garbage collection.

 And I think researching on the whole dragon crisis reveals that perhaps you shouldn't be doing this. You meet people that imply that the end of the world as you know it is possibly how the world should work. It isn't just evil dragons destroying the world, they were made by Akatosh to do this, and the world is fated to go through this.

 People told you the weirdness of the plot and books reveal additional weirdness of your situation? Shat a shock from such a dumb game of Skyrim.

There is a hidden message is the 36 lessons where Vivec outright states he killed Nerevar. Finding it can be hard, however.

Oh yeah, the 'spear rituals' and whatnots.

Book 12 and 14 if I recall?
