Skyrim - Why It Might Not Be Worth Your Time

Kombo has a piece titled Why The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Might Not Be Worth Your Time, with the argument essentially rooted in "Morrowind was better".  I didn't find much detail in their article but I'm sure many will agree with the basic premise:

Morrowind makes you feel special at every possible opportunity, asking only that you put some work into it. Where Oblivion settles for a generic quasi-medieval setting, Morrowind's world is unlike anything you've ever seen. There are hubris-filled gods, ancient robots, mushroom-dwelling sorcerers, hidden tombs, secretive vampires, and a million other things waiting to be discovered.

Morrowind provides no constraints save your own commitment, ingenuity and imagination. Its world reacts to your presence in ways a game like Oblivion - a game that plays it safe - couldn't possibly be capable of.
