I’m so glad I was able to play it first. No game has ever been as immersive to me as Morrowind was. I don’t know if I could say the same thing if I’d have played Oblivion or Skyrim first and tried to go backwards because of how bad the combat system was. I’m also not sure why I didn’t find those two games as immersive as I did Morrowind, most of the pieces are there but something always felt off with them by comparison.
The later games can be immersive if you don’t use map fast travel imo. There’s a few mods like better carriages and boats that give you a lot more travel options, I like sign fast travel too. Find it makes me explore a lot more instead of just rushing to the next objective. It’s not quite the same but I find that + survival helps a lot (and combat gameplay overhaul, but depends how much you’re ok modding core gameplay elements. I totally run combat mods on morrowind when i replay it, I’m not a purist when it comes to how people want to play a game)
My first experience with morrowind was on the xbox and I played the hell out of it, wasn’t until years later I finally bought a pc copy. I found Dread Delusion captured some of that immersive alien world feeling that morrowind did for me as a kid.
