I cited them as examples of open world mostly without bosses that I had fun with, not some “pinnacle of game design”.
I didn’t specify the Fallout games, and I had fun with NV. Fallout 4 is actually not bad, too, despite all the negativity.
Like it or not, TES 5 is good and highly appraised; it became a phenomenon of its own. Yes, Morrowind and Oblivion are good games for their time (and Oblivion intro still gives me chills), but from a modern gamer POV, they are more nostalgic than great in today’s terms. They were great hits in their time, however, and I appreciate their legacy. I did play parts of all games in TES series, starting from Arena, I have Morrowind still installed on my computer, and I’m not ignorant when I say Skyrim is good and is my absolute preference.
