I don't know what to think about Skyrim.
+ On one hand it looks absolutely awesome, and I like the entire Nordic Art design, the atmosphere is as strong as can be.
+ New awesome spells like constant flame/ice/bolt throwing.
+ Using both hands
+ I also like the perks you can put in every single skill to unlock special abilities and much more.
+ The fights are much more controllable than before, instead of wild clicking on the mouse, together with nice animations and finally some gore!
+ And last but not least the size of the world is really awesome
But on the other hand it has a lot of design flaws, in my eyes.
- I liked the more complicated system with attributes and primary/secondary skills. Although I don't miss the sleeping to level up.
- Since Oblivion I don't like how they simplified enchanting and creating spells. In addition to this many spells are missing like "Mark/Escape" or "Levitation".
- I don't like how I can't influence the personal attitude of single NPCs towards me. No more bribing or taunting...
- I have only done the Magic Academy quests so far, but I miss gaining ranks and slowly taking control of all the guilds in the game
--- THE MENUS!!!
All in all I have to say that I still think that Morrowind was the best part of the series. Yeah, it has no fast travel, no horses, no dual wielding, no perks and the fights looked crappy, but I could develop my character as I liked!
It was possible to fill a great sould gem with the soul of a Golden Saint or Ascended Sleeper (= constant effect enchantment possible), enchant a "Glass Helmet" with a constant 1 point of "Levitation", which makes you fly for an unlimited time, but very slowly. But luckily there were the "Boots of Blinding Speed", which gave +200 points on speed but also +100% blind on self, which means the screen turns black. No problem, use the "Cuirass of Savior's Hide", which gives +60% magic resistance, reducing blindness to 40%, which makes the screen become only a bit darker. With a few more items with resistance to magic the blindness could be reduced to like 10%. Together with an amulet that constantly heals you and rings that keep you constantly invisible you were able to be the invisible, super fast flying immortal on Vvardenfall.
I miss this depth of character customization. Now it isn't even possible to wear a robe over (or trousers under) your armour any more.
