imagine unironically suggesting someone should play morrowind instead of skyrim. i'd insult someone of the likes but my insult skill is 15 and therefore the quip will only have a 10% chance of hurting anyone
morrowind is loving horrible. i've played all 3 elder scroll games and morrowind is so far the only TES game i've managed to finish, and after enough brown townysis i've come to the conclusion that the game sucks. all its side quests are uninteresting. the combat and magic have no more depth than skyrim or oblivion but unlike those two all attacks are arbitrarily dictated by a random number generator and therefore the combat mechanic is stuffty by default. theres no waypoints so you basically have to play simon says and follow a really vague set of NPC-given directions to find your goal and even then the chances of you missing it are insanely easy.
if you want to try an elder scrolls game, check out oblivion or morrowind instead, they're more complicated than running around swinging a sword until you win. plus, skyrim is just ugly as stuff.
oblivion and skyrim have the same loving combat mechanics. you swing a sword until you win, and that's literally all you do. and compared to skyrim oblivion is an absolute eyesore, it hasnt aged well at all
