I think MW will have a place in my heart forever because in that game there were real consequences and it seems like most developers, including Bethesda to some degree, do not have the intestinal fortitude to put real consequence into their games for actions you have committed. In MW disease could be fatal and it was not so easy to just go get a potion or pray to get your cure.

On a funny side note to that I caught a disease early in Skyrim and all the while I was walking around I could hear people saying things to me like...."you look very pale my dear, are you sure you should not be home in bed?" and other such comments. I was thinking because it was so new in the game that I had somehow made a mistake creating my character and she was too ugly or something...lol finally I stumbled across the stats screen and noticed I had a disease...lol

For some reason I like the extreme close-up zoom in on character interactions in Oblivion
It's like you've just got a camera and rammed it in their face: "well then? hey? you? I'm talkin' to you! what's the rumors, lickspittle?"
I liked the Khajiit facial animations in Oblivion, folding the ears backward looked cool.

I was an AD&D player way back when. I love RP'ing, and when Morrowind came out I fell in love with it, and have played Morrowwind and Oblivion countless times and hours. While I still love both of those games, Skyrim is superlative, I have been playing, and playing, and playing.....DG and Hearthfire made things even better!

Enjoy, and welcome to the world that is SKYRIM!

I actually kind of liked that too. Maybe not so close, with better looking faces.

Remember i also got an disease, know I needed an altar or an potion, however I was unable to find any temples and the potion was to expensive.
Think I asked on the forum but found one altar behind the crazy priest.

Another thing that happened to me in MW was I figured out how to kill a guard in one of the towns. I would jump behind this plant box in the area where the guard walked around and I had to wait until he was alone with no one else around. Then I shot him with my bow to pull him over to me but he could not reach me cause I was in this area behind the plant box. So then all I had to do was whittle him down slowly and eventually kill him, jump out and loot his armor and weapon which were real choice items and sold for a lot of gold.

That was on the xbox version, however when I tried the same thing on the PC version I got arrested and it was all over in a matter of about 30 seconds lol.

Having some trouble getting past these Yeti looking things up in the mountains as I head to the next part of finding that staff...anyone got any clues on how to fight these things? They seem to cut me down faster then I can heal up, maybe I should have bought a few more potions before I left town...hummn
get a follower and/or conjure flame atronach then blast 'em up with your fire spells,that's how i fought the first frost troll I encountered.
