To be fair, you are totally wrong, the Morrowind vs. Oblivion arguments raged for literally years on these boards. In fact, I haven't been there in a while but I'm sure people still bicker about Morrowind being better in the OB forums.
I think I wasn't able to express what I meant...
It was that after Oblivion's release,there were people saying Morrowind was better and people saying Oblivion was better.Oblivionists were the majority.
Now,Skyrim is out and there are people saying Morrowind was better,and people saying Skyrim is better.Oblivion's mention dropped drastically,but MW's didn't.I'm taking this as a sign Oblivion wasn't good enough,wasn't a milestone in TES that people would compare the newer titles to.
And while being much better than Oblivion,I'm predicting that the same will happen to Skyrim and the milestone will still be MW by the time TES6 is released.
