    In Morrowind I like the story and the music. But as I explored the battle mechanics, I couldn’t stand the randomness.
    Also in a later retries after Oblivion and Skyrim I missed the real talking more than the graphics enhancements.
    A bit unfair, I know. Maybe I’m not that game connoisseur myself.

      yeah but the talking was annoying af. it felt like they had like four people voicing the entire game. meanwhile a small independent studio like supergiant makes a much smaller game fully voice acted but doesn’t feel exhausted as quickly as Skyrim, with thousands of lines both written and performed fantastically. i can’t excuse anything Bethesda is doing anymore. they’re getting worse with every game, both in terms of writing and gameplay.

        Yes, mostly Wes Johnson with a bit of a very annoyed Sean Bean.
        But I have a soft spot for the over the top Sheogorath, the unnecessarily aggressive guard shouts and the calm voice of the Khajiit women.
        Some of the other few voices I can’t stand, especially the blacksmith of Chorrol (“A pleeeeasure to serve you”).
