Just tried Morrowind and ive gotta say i hated it. I didnt like the design, the inventory screens, the slowness of the character, the combat… I felt like i played an alpha version of Oblivion.
But still many people consider it a very good game. Do you think that because ive played more polished RPGs i became "spoiled"? That my "game taste" for design (its not the graphics, but the design that puts me off) is too high because of what i played?
A lot of the magic of Morrowind is found in the world design and the setting. I don't know if you've played with mods but I really like how the original draw distance has everything appearing from this ever present mist. It really encourages exploration because there seems to be so much to discover. The maximum distance mods and better whatever packs really kill a lot of the morrowind magic. One thing with seeing for miles is there's seldom a surprise like how a city emerges in Morrowind.
Had you played it then I think despite its flaws it would have been able to entrance you with it's world and atmosphere, whereas now after years of making a game yourself you just see a lot of shitty scripts and the ugliest faces since the 'Wear a Picasso Painting Face Mask Day'-rage in the 80's.
