Like all Bethesda games of its nature, it's a solid base for a plethora of mods, enhancements, tweaks and revisions. The subtle exploration music, the stellar overall sound design, the grandiose environments, the crafting, it was all solid, and when augmented with mods, even the trademark meh combat could become something really amazing and visceral.

There's so many things that they got right, it's amazing. I'm now on run 8, maybe 9, and the game still hasn't lost its charm. I played the shit out of it, finished all the main questlines, and then started again with a modded run. I know I did, but all I could think about was getting back to my computer and delving further into the game. I don't remember going to class or work that week. I went back to Morrowind, tried it, liked it too, but not as much, and so when Skyrim was announced I and my roommate who had started with Morrowind, we collectively lost our shit. So many ways to make an already interesting game incredible. Back on my old 8500GT(whooping half gig of ddr2 vram), the game ran like butter, and getting into the modding community really amazed me. See, I, like a lot of people, had my first exposure to the elder scrolls at Oblivion. God yes, and I kind of hate it for how well it does what it does, at least on PC.
