My current dilemna with skyrim

[Sir Prize]

Everything you just brought up could be said about every Bethesda game ever, sadly enough.
Skyrim is the first to mortgage either bland nor repetitive enviroment.
But yes, I do like Morrowind more. Because it actually offered intellectual challenges. The quests didn't have arrows pointing towards them, you had to read instructions on how to get there, take a wrong turn a few times and then find it.
It was much more satisfying. While Skyrim is indeed a great game and I think I have already logged over 40 hours on it, it is just way too casual. And not to talk about the quest lines being incredibly short and non rewarding.
