.Yup. Morrowind's story and setting are much better (though the "now you must convince everyone in the universe to vote for you" bit was time-consuming.) Oblivion is too generic and the "close the demon portals" plot has been done to death. Shivering Isles is supposed to be good, though. I've got it but never played it.

...i never really had a huge deal of love for either of them. i geuss they're good ideas for games but they're so badly programmed that the game just isnt fun. although on the flipside, the glitches do make the games funny enough to be enjoyable.

Well... it's one of those strange things, but I can't work up any enthusiasm to play either Daggerfall or Morrowind, while I do still feel like playing Oblivion, even though I prefer the others. Guess I'm shallow enough to be swayed by flashy graphics.
I didn't think Morrowind was badly programmed, mind.
The same goes for a lot of old games, like Elite or the original Fallouts or even UFO
, or a game called Apocalypse which I went out of my way to get a copy of and then never got into.
