The golden age 2D CRPGs that are even older than Morrowind are WAY better even today.
True they are still good and some
were better than Morrowind, there is no question that it was an excellent transition to a proper big, first person RPG!
Thinking back to
it and what came next.. (Oblivion..), it's no contest. Oblivion was a babies first RPG..
A game is a sum of it's parts. When you have quite a few people still saying Morrowind is one of the greatest RPG's of it's time and in a lot of ways, still is, then it stands to reason the parts made a great game. Not many games these days even come close.
So again..!
whether you love or hate it, Morrowind IS, still! One of the best RPG's of our time.
..Don't hurt me.
