Look, I enjoyed Skyrim, but I miss the days when Bethesda made RPGs

Skyrim seemed worse when it came to grinding. It's too easy not to sit there and train on the invincible NPCs. Sneak walk into walls within earshot of hostiles, spam conjuration on rocks near hostiles, shoot arrows at NPCs that never die.

The person who grinds speed and athletics in Morrowind goes on to do cool things. In Skyrim they'd have like 8 more hours of playtime before they could play the game.

Weapon and sneak grinds existed in Morrowind too, you just couldn't do them all at once without hurting your leveling. If you wanted to switch weapon types in Morrowind, it usually involved summons and spamming attacks until you hit them reliably.
