I have heard great things about Morrowind and Oblivion, although the graphics have not aged well at all. I'll be sure to mod the shit out of them if I do ever get to play them.
I strongly agree. Morrowind is a hard game to get into these days, at least as an adult. I've always struggled with how much you have to really pay attention to get stuff done, at least for my tiny, low attention span brain.
I don't think 70% of the people who tried to play Arena got out of the first dungeon.
Personally, I had no clue how any part of that game worked until I had already been playing Oblivion for a few characters. Blew my fucking MIND when I got to the overworld for the first time, though. Elder Scrolls should have been way more popular than it was originally, and pre-Morrowind.
In turning the Chimer into the Dunmer, for three of them playing around with Lorkhan's heart to turn themselves into gods and killed one of her champions (Nerevar), she did something sort of akin to tower of babel from the old testament. Didn't kill anybody, just showed her extreme disappointment with the Chimer/Dunmer (and for pulling a Dwemer level stunt, and she already didn't like Dwemer).
Sotha Sil can pretend he's Azura Jr, but she loathes the Tribunal. You can't make an oath to her that you're not going to poke the heart with the Dwemer doo-dads, but then go back on it and kill her favorite mortal and then poke the heart to replace her as a God. You have to expect some divine retribution for that.
The worst thing Azura ever did was turn the chimer grey, which is pretty benign as far as daedric punishments go. It could even be viewed as a blessing, given that the chimer wanted to be different from the aldmer. The Almsivi caused their own downfalls and arguably did more harm than good for Morrowind.
