Morrowind will and always will be one of the greatest games I have ever played. Despite the newer entries improving combat extensively, Morrrowind still takes the cake.
Oblivion was a nice improvement in combat and in inventory/quest structure but its addition of auto travel and lack of appealing environments was a shame. Oblivion added voiced dialog changing the feel and the content dramatically. With text they are allowed to do quite more than with voice and it showed. Things got rather dull in Oblivion, a lot of repeat, lack of content, and poor implementation.
Skyrim was a huge improvement on Oblivion, but the auto travel and some inventory changes are unfortunate. Skyrim's environments are great and the world is great. The voicing was much better and they were able to maintain a high content level. If they can really see what made Morrowind great and implement it further in games like they did Skyrim, I will be happy.
Each one had their shining gems and I can't wait to see their next rendition. I just hope they can make a world like Morrowind again and ditch this auto-led auto-travel structure. They just need more forms of transport, not insta-travel.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
