+/-the game happily allows you to figure things out on your own—that often means experimenting/using up inventory items, exploring, backtracking, spending or “wasting” time, etc. just to figure things out.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I feel like Morrowind has the best plot of the series and the most interesting lore as a whole.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The more important effects of this though are things like the fact that with weapons and hand-to-hand you only hit if you successfully roll to hit your opponent.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics, while old, have a certain charm to them, I find it quite nice to look at.

Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is renowned for its open-world gameplay, deep lore, and extensive character customization.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack is always excellent, and the Nerevar Rising theme was so good they couldn't help but make it the leitmotiv of the series.
