The transition to Skyrim was a harsh one, as I felt the system was dumbed down far too much. Yes, we got all kinds of new perks, animations, assassination and finisher moves, and a lot of customization options, and I had a nerdgasim at the return of being a werewolf...but I feel we lost a lot more than we gained. Armor is in fewer parts, now just boots, gloves, body(cuirass and greaves combined) and helm. Granted, this makes things simpler, but I miss being able to mix and match to a greater degree. Like when Oblivion made the gloves a pair and added the pauldrons to the cuirass as one piece of armor, I felt that restricted my aesthetic options.
...And I'm going to stop myself there and just say I love both games and Morrowind, but prefer Morrowind to both for reasons. I would LOVE for them to pull a Bungie/343 and make a Morrowind anniversary or something. Just update the graphics and the combat system, leave everything else the same(well, maybe take cliffracers out)...just....fuck the hell yes.
