Dungeon size being large is fun, I feel like I'm actually exploring instead of following a pre-set path.

66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Speaking of dungeons, the handcrafted dungeons for the main story are pretty cool (with the 9 major dungeons being the standouts,) ranging from standard crypts and castles to volcanoes and swamps.

Its enormous world, emphasis on player choice, extensive character customization, and rewarding exploration established ideas that would later define not only the Elder Scrolls franchise but also countless open-world role-playing games that followed.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ost for this game is also pretty good (though it can get a little repetitive), being very classic fantasy.
