Maybe you just didn't understand some of the mechanics of the game. You'd only miss alot if your skill with that weapon was low or the thing you were fighting had a lot of luck (the stat). Admittedly parts of the game were really buggy for consoles and those parts could be considered broken. 

Having a mechanic that makes spot-on shots miss is straight-up bad game design in my book. Imagine if a shooter did that; you line up a target perfectly, and the game rolls a fucking dice to see if you get to hit. That's crappy.

Ok, think of it like this. Even though you have a general idea of where a baseball will go when it's pitched, the general person or amateur won't be able to hit it with a baseball bat. Another way to put it is no person is skilled when they first start using a melee weapon, you're more likely to miss your target than to hit in combat even when it's a person you're aiming. If you are unskilled with a weapon in that game, you will miss more often than not. Anyway, it doesn't really matter because if they did a remaster or remake of morrowind, they'll change the combat to something closer to skyrim but hopefully they wouldn't dumb down the game.

Shooters... They're alright. (for most gamers, FPS is THE best genre. To me, it's just meh. They're short and your hand is held to the end. It's like being a mouse that has a mouse sized gun that's going through a maze while fighting creatures that are trying to eat it or kill it. Same thing but with a different title.

 

Out of curiosity and unrelated to the thread, have you ever tried the Metro games?

I've played more of the older metroids than the new ones. My friend got me to try one of the new ones where it's like a first person shooter.
