We are loosing what made the elder scrolls great lets compare. Morrowind has bad graphics and no dialogue but. You go into dungeons in morrowind not to just level skills, but to explore and try to get a piece of realy good armor or a really good weapon and dungeons were actually scary . In skyrim Dungeons are more appealing for people to go into, people go for the sake of exploring it. There is no use item hunting because the best gear yo have to make yourself( which is terrible for TES, but good for noobs), you go in for quests but it is not as scary in Morrowind it became to much for appealing to new people.

They say "Well I like the new system I don't feel like I am deterred away from dungeons" well guess what when you go into a dungeon it is sapose to be scary you are sapose to feel scared . Why? because it submerges you into the game, it makes you scared for your life, it makes you glade after completing the dungeon you are getting the hell out of there. Political factions in morrowind included the 3 great houses which in my opinion beats out Emp vs Storm. You feel like your apart of the house and are trying to gain superiority over the others, there is no such thing as morality in it,it was just a matter of choice. You could join the legion to help get a stable foothold in an hostile land to the Empire, you could go visit the ashlanders and explore. In Morrowind you could have fun exploring because you only get a general sketch of it. You did not have a 3d map you had exploration to find everything. there was no compass there was directions you had to follow. In Skyrim you choose between Stormcloaks and Empire yes it is a tough choice but those are the only two political factions you can help and they are in open warfare there is no agents there is no closed in warfare like between the great houses. In morrowind you can become a pilgrim for the temple but only if you walk the steps of vivec, you had to go where he went you had to do what he did, you felt something. You were a part of a dynamic interactive world.

Graphics wise Skyrim easily beats of Morrowind, but there is alot more to games than just how it looks, the looks take you in but the story keeps you there, you do not look for how much time it occupies you look for "What can I do next. Look at this book, I want to go hunting for these deadric items. Now everything is best if you build it yourself.In Morrowind you were a prisoner nothing else was known, you were a prisoner who was brought to Morrowind from the imperial prison, you could choose by yourself whether you did something horrific, were just stealing bread, or was wrongly blackmailed because you offended someone.In Skyrim you were crossing the border,What race were you? you could go as far as to say why you were crossing the border but it just isn't the same as being arrested.I liked both Morrowind's and Skyrim's main story but Morrowind immersed you in it more. Morrowind DLC you could go to the capital and help 2 main factions and dosens of people, or you can go to Solsteim and help build a Colony of your choosing and explore a yet unexplored island that is barbaric.I dont like the map now you know all the geography you know exactcly were to go , which shortens the quest, in Morrowind it was a matter of following directions . In Morrowind you could be anti or pro slavery. I see why fast travel was added, the map is quite large I dont see the big deal of fast travel being added, but at the least bring back Daggerfall's fast travel system, were you had to choose to travel recklessly or stable, inn or camping, boat,cart or walking. You don't get that whats that over there! I want to explore something that no one foun yet! in Skyrim.
There is much more to tell but I am not trying to trash skyrim they are both good games, but Morrowind was a TRUE Elder Scrolls game. Skyrim sacrificed too much in the name of simplicity, I do think it should be easy to appeal to new people but at least try and keep the old people.
People like Morrowind because of its depth.
Skyrim people like it because it is a great game with many great features but I say it lacks depth to a degree when you compare it to Morrowind.

I agree with you.
Playing Skyrim, just reached level 40 and it got old real quick. The level scaling is even worse then Oblivion because now enemies scale damage and health along with the player.

Although really each game is its own, you cant expect Skyrim to be Morrowind 2.0

Personally, what made Morrowind great for me was the freedom to do whatever, whenever, however I chose fit. I never really experienced this in a game before buying Morrowind.
