It's not rose colored glasses. That would be if you were claiming the combat was good... But they definitely made design choices in the subsequent games that made them feel less enchantin. Mostly by taking any real work out of the game. Which is ok. They are just seeking a different audience.
Yes, a different audience... and that is fine! They obviously found a recipe that works for a lot of people. I am still waiting for the next Morrowind, though.
Yeah, same. I really enjoyed it above any of their other games. The obscurity of the setting was wonderful too. Skyrim and Obliviom we're impressively realized worlds but a little too rote fantasy.
