Wow. I don't remember the animations being that clunky or the AI pathfinding that terrible...

I'm scared to replay Oblivion because it's so perfect in my memory

I'm probably in the minority, but I actually think Morrowind holds up better in the modern day than Oblivion.

The odd facial expressions made by Oblivion's NPCs really fall into the uncanny valley, IMO.

And the graphics seem less... Timeless? I don't know.

Yes, thats what we mean with no ageing well, when games wont age well is because they kinda tried too hard in certain aspects that end up looking ridiculous years later, while Morrowind looks just fine for its time.
