What do you expect from a game released in 2002?

Games from 2002 have very good and pleasant graphics, but the point is not in how beautiful it is, but in the fact that it is not perceived well. You can't see anything clearly; what kind of items are lying in this grass – just black, long, vertical stripes. Ugly leaves that block, like curtains, half of the field of view down to the ground, a shaky camera that again spoils the overall impression, an unpleasant surface of the entire island in yellow-green tones, depicting vegetation. This green layer is like smeared greenish feces on the ground. All this simply creates some kind of unperceivable picture for me. Morrowind, for example, is a terrible game in all aspects, and especially in terms of graphics, but its picture is quite clear.
You get used to the controls, and it can even seem ergonomic, if not for the idiotic combat system. Try fighting more than one opponent who is not obviously weaker than you. You will fail many times and have to reload.
The island turned out to be even smaller than I thought; you can complete it in five minutes. If the first part has only a valley, then there is probably a very small area.
I also heard from my gamer friend that in the second Gothic, for example, you shouldn't go to the second chapter at a level lower than fourteen or fifteen, because otherwise the orcs will overwhelm you. And therefore, it is recommended to clear as much of the ISLAND as possible from monsters. Is this true? I don't want to, I can't, I refuse to believe it! He says - complete all the quests to join the mercenaries for the sake of experience, because otherwise it will be difficult.

Morrowind is the best RPG.

Grindy leveling, an empty and lifeless world in brown tones, the absence of dialogues, instead of which there is a wiki, the characters are only combinations of a stupid warrior or a destruction mage, you can't play as a pure merchant, diplomat, thief, or any other peaceful citizen; there are no memorable NPCs, whose faces and names are randomly generated by the editor.
No, there is nothing good in the whole series, I think. An MMORPG for one player.
I finally calmed down, it seems.
