    I like Morrowind as much as anyone but also appreciate the streamlined approach of Skyrim. I mean, I don’t really need to equip each pauldron separately…

    But Oblivion always felt wrong to me. Too dumbed down coming from Morrowind, but not simplified enough to be as fun as Skyrim.

    Plus enemies scaled in a way that if you weren’t minmaxing your levelups, the whole world turned into bulletsponges.

      Really? I played a Nord Warrior in Oblivion and had a pretty chill time, even destroyed minotaurs pretty regularly to sell their 2h weapons. I remember having a rotation between their respawn locations and a bandit camp, then I’d sleep until they were up again.

      Skyrim on the other hand, the scaling is atrocious. One second you’re killing tens of people handily and the next an outlaw is killing tens of you handily.
