Obviously all of the younger gamers who grew up on Skyrim don't seem to understand that Morrowind was the first of it's kind. You can't play the vanilla version today and expect it to be some modern marvel! The entire reason this game is so nostalgic for older gamers is that Morrowind is the first of it's kind. Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4 and others have all followed in its footsteps. There was no Dark Souls or any other open world, RPG adventure game in which you could explore and open up the world, story and quests in whatever order you want. It was the first game where you could steal everything that wasn't nailed down, etc. It was one of the first games that I remember having such a big, beautiful sounding orchestra as its soundtrack. I could go on and on but one of the biggest reasons it was so big was that it was available on Xbox! Most of us couldn't afford gaming PC's back then so we were rarely able to experience these types of games on our consoles. tl;dr - This game isn't perfect and it defintely isn't for everyone but it's a classic for a good reason. I guess it's just too difficult for some people under the age of 30 to understand that a 20 year old game isn't going to play like a AAA game in 2022.
