Oblivion had a lot off color and life in it, I enjoyed walking about the towns listening in on conversations.
But with skyrim all the npcs felt like emotionless zombies, and every nord and high elf was literally the same character, nothing unique about them at all.

This, yes was a bit hard to pinpoint but yes you are right. Oblivion had the benefit of random npc comments who tended to be stupid but not annoying like the "has you met my father" x 1000 then using the blacksmith station.
Also the other weirdness like having TG and the guards fight on the same side against some who attacked you.

Morrowind.
Still my favourite because of the world-building and how alien the world was - xenophobic elves with grey skin dining on insect legs in mushroom towers overlooking lakes of lava! Plus, mods are great for Morrowind, and getting into modding quite easy.
Also the reason why I came back to ESO with the Morrowind chapter.

Oblivion was too generic. I find the standard pseudo-Western European high fantasy quite boring (even in ESO, Glenumbra and Stormhaven are ... dull), and even today, I cannot stand looking at those over-saturated, overly bloomey bloated balloon faces any more.
Skyrim was phenomenal again. Not as weird as Morrowind but sufficiently unique. Also, people who play TES games for the main quest don't understand what TES games are.

Got into ESO mainly to see what the other parts of Tamriel looked like. Gave up on ESO only a few months later because it gated my sightseeing behind level advancement (that was back in 2014), until One Tamriel did away with that nonsense.

^My thoughts exactly on all points

I got lost in the Morrowind Construciton set for hours and hours. Been playing RPGs since 1980’s and still consider Morrowind the greatest RPG of all time.

Skyrim

It gave me the sense of making my own adventure. In Skyrim I was a boe bandit killer yet couldn't hit a bunny who the dark brotherhood was after often. At last game gave me vitural motion sickness so only had 30 hours, but that was enough to inspire me years later to come here.

Did you like the main quest in Skyrim? I found it so boring. Oh a dragon and civil war crisis. that’s so interesting

I think the charm of Skyrim is making your own quest. I started off sneaking passed a dragon and trying to get into a fight with bunny only to lose my tour guide instead. It took me a quite a bit start the main quest. Even after, I felt like I was still making the adventures my own.

Let me tell you this one time, I killed a chicken....

My favorite part of Skyrim was when I killed the emperors brother and his bride for the dark brotherhood

Daggerfall. But Morrowind was when I realised it was as good as I thought it could be. It was the lore, the mythology, the society, the culture of Dunmer and how it fitted into history. The complexity of what really happened the first time you were alive. And first you had to figure out where to go, what to do, before you found out what it meant. And the stilt strider cries still call me. Damn, I hope they never make the next Elder Scrolls when I remember because it will be so compromised. But so am I these days. How else to cope with our new deity, Mammon. I feel like a dissident Temple priest.
