"But once I got over the fact that they went for stability, I realised that it's about 300% greater than any other RPG on the market."

But that's just the problem, isn't it? Where did all the rpgs go? In the old days, one rpg after another was released. Morrowind had no real competition. Some people sets it up against Gothic, but I think that's an unfair comparison; Gothic is more of a adventure game, and doesn't focus very much on skills/stats at all, whereas Morrowind does. I like both; Gothic because of it's incredibly immersive world, it really makes you want to explore it, and Morrowind because of it's depth, which unfortunately is far less than Daggerfall's.

"What's this Lords of Magic?"

I would give you a link, but I think the underdogs site is considered illegal, because it's an abandonware site. Sufficient to say, google the site, and find a review of the game there. The Special Edition of the game is the best version of it, and the one they have a review of. It's basically the game how it "should have been", but it was rushed, so they made the expansion.

As for Morrowind; Imagine instead if they had improved upon every aspect of Daggerfall, instead of creating a completely different game. We could have had much improved random dungeons, better npc interaction, the missing features from Daggerfall(nations going to war, guilds being cut, etc.), better random quests, generally alot more features, less bugs, and better graphics for those who care.
It would have been fantastic.
