I personally felt morrowind was awfully annoying in the combat department. I don't think I'll ever get those mudcrabs out of my head... you're a giant friggin' crab, I'm like half a yard away from you, and i'm hacking at you like a madman... why can't i hit you? Am I drunk?
Also didn't like the freeform leveling system it had. and the 3rd person view, couldn't pick anything up with it, cause your belly was blocking the crosshair. Was still a great game though. Much better than Oblivion. I especially liked how they did character creation. Seyda Neen was really beautiful... and there was lots of imagery in the design. But Divinity's music is definitely better than Morrowind's was, IMO.
Anywho, Baldur's Gate will always be the greatest game, to me. It's the little things that do it. Minsc and Boo, Ariel the beautiful Avariel, the fantastic foe, Jon Irenicus, the relationships you created with your companions... they had so much to say, to me and eachother. There's nothing a non-party-based game can do about that. Only an MMO with RPG-friends, mayhaps. Missed that a lot in NWN2 and Drakensang.
NWN1 will always be one of my favorites as well, though, with its two great add-ons and its memorable characters. NWN2, while being party based, never even got close.
don't know if it interests you, but I heard that Bethesda recently put Daggerfall up for free download. It's Morrowind predecessor and really generated a lot of their fanbase. Perhaps check it out while waiting for Ego Draconis?
