Okay, you want to know what I liked about Dagoth Ur (apart from his awesome backstory and believable/relatable motivations)? He felt like a very real, very present threat. You'd be attacked by cultists in the cities, ambushed by monsters on the roads, and every ash storm (and there were plenty) was a reminder of Dagoth Ur's power. In Skyrim, I spend a lot of time just sort of messing around, and apart from dragon attacks that quickly start to feel routine, there's no real sense of danger. Most of the stuff that wants to kill you- bandits (who somehow think trying to mug a man who just killed a dragon is a smart career move), draugr, trolls- would be trying to kill you whether or not Alduin existed. Now don't get me wrong- you can spend a ton of time just faffing about in Morrowind too, but Dagoth Ur always feels close by, a lingering malevolent presence who's responsible for a lot of the Bad Stuff that's going down.
