Morrowind is so nostalgia driven it isn't even funny. The game as a whole is pretty good, but by todays standards the gameplay is bad, the interface worse, and the story just average.
See, people like to say things like this to me. But the gameplay is legitimately better than Skyrim's - is Skyrim not up to "todays standards"?
By the way, I didn't play Morrowind forever ago. Unfortunately I missed it when it was a new/modern game.
