I miss these, Morrowind was such an inspired game with such unique environments
I was legitimately angry when I first played oblivion and learned you could just teleport anywhere automatically right from the start of the game
Not to mention that Oblivion's interpretation of Cyrodiil is just so bland compared to Vvardenfell.
Which is only exacerbated by how weird some of the Daggerfall/Morrowind-era lore about the imperial province was.
I was mildly annoyed when I played Oblivion for the first time and learned that the parts of Tamriel other than Vvardenfell have generic woodland and fantasy creatures instead of the acid trip fever dream shit they came up with for Morrowind.
I was also pissed off when I found out they removed levitation.
The area Oblivion takes place in was supposed to be jungle. But Todd Howards gotta be as generic as possible.
