You don't have to like TES.  But saying that TES magically ruined the genre is just horseshit. It existed way back in 90s.and people were still choosing other RPGs over it. Morrowind just managed to somewhat infiltrate part of mainstream audience...and taht was about it.

Perhaps you are right.  Perhaps The Elder Scrolls games are neither popular nor influential.  To me it appears it has been fairly influential.

TES is both popular and influential, but most of it comes from Skyrim. You were talking about Morrowind specifically, and Bethesda pretty much ditched core RPG market in favor of progressively more mainstream experience after it (though, Morrowind was already somewhat toned down compared to Daggerfall). But, as I said, Morrowind was not the first, whole TES started as Bethesda's take on Ultima Underworld - both Arena and Daggerfall were there for anyone interested to play them, and people played them - they ruined nothing, they were just successors to different take on RPGs that existed even back in 80s...maybe you just missed them, or you were not interested in them, there was so many ways and attempts to convert tabletop RPG experience to video games (and none quite succeeded).

Personally, from that period, I'd take Might&Magic over any TES, but I knew lot of folks who were hardcore Daggerfall fans.
