if you miss Morrowind, go play it. its not like it died in a corner. but Skyrim has more realism and more people like it..
Haha, that's the problem with discussing ANYTHING about a game on a forum. When someone talks about how things could be more realistic, people complain about it ruining the fun. Then someone mentions how something could be more fun, then people complain about how it would ruin the realism. Then there's the whole "fantasy" aspect. The truth is, there are going to be people who complain about ANYTHING that is said. But hey, better have have complete freedom of speech than to have none at all, right? And yes, that includes the freedom to complain and even to complain about the complaining
But as for realism, I would say it's a mixed bag. Skyrim has more realism when it comes to graphics, sound, combat, physics, atmosphere, etc. Morrowind takes the advantage in skills, variety of weapons, clothing/armor options, dialogue choices (though not nearly as much as Daggerfall), and city size, just as a short list. I must confess, though, that I think it's Morrowind's lack of realism in its atmosphere that made it special. Oblivion and Skyrim just feel TOO real in their landscapes to give that "magical" feeling.
Ps. Also, Morrowind was MUCH more realistic concerning level scaling. A level 1 character was easy pickings when first off the boat, while a level 50 character was incredibly powerful. In my opinion, that's the way it should be.
