Excuse me? Did you even play Morrowind? It most definitely had day/night cycles.
Whoops, my bad. Of course they had day/night. I meant to talk about people going home for the night and closing up shop, getting up the next morning, etc. Sorry about that.
Vivec was very impressive from the outside. But inside it was like a bunch of small identical strip malls or hotel lobbies or something. I just didn't care for it. It seemed so much larger on the outside than it really was--which is kind of impressive in its way I guess. Maybe I long for the cities of Arena and Daggerfall.
