+1 on the rose tinted glasses. In retrospect, I'm still quite bitter about Skyrim. In many ways it's the best TES game so far, definitely in terms of environment etc. But even at the time, it fell short; voice acting is one, bad animations is another. I think it's the engine and core technology, which at the base is still the same as Morrowind's.

I mean I get it, they have a staff that is experienced in that engine and a heap of modders. But it's past its prime, and I hope (but doubt) that for TES VI they make big changes.
