Hm. What RPGs have there been since Morrowind that looked better? Gothic II, arguably, although I'd say Morrowing was on par with it graphically (I liked GII more in every other respect, though). Most current MMORPGs look better. But apart from those, I'm drawing a blank.
same here, Morrowind still holds up very, very well as far as I'm concerned. It had high poly counts, high res textures and extremely talented artists working on the game. Since devs have started using normal and bump mapping on a regular basis any game that doesn't use them are considered somehow inferior to something that doesn't use them. It'll still tax a current PC if all the visual settings are pegged to their max.
