Morrowind did not age well... in the best way. Morrowind does not give you fast travel by map. You have to use public transpotation. Morrowind does not give you quest markers. You have to use *street directions*. Morrowind NPCs will send you on a journey and tell you to go east, take the road southeast towards Vivec City, then hang a right when you see a big rock and keep going until you reach the cave where you're going to get killed by mudcrabs because you were holding "run" the entire time and now you're too exhausted to fight. I remember there was a session of Morrowind where I got completely turned around looking for a wizard's tower and I ended up in a town I had no idea existed. I had to go into a bar and ask a dancer on stage where I was and how to get where I was going. Like a tourist. It was the most immersed I've ever been in a game world.

And that's the thing. This is the one with the best setting. Oblivion and Skyrim are great but they don't come close to Vvardenfell and its god-kingdom and its giant chitinous livestock and its ashlands and its Divine Disease. Years after I finished the main quest I still go back and read the in-game books and marvel at the secrets they contain. This is the game that gave us the Sermons of Vivec. This game is how we know to reach heaven by violence. I want you to play it.
