I'm sorry, but whoever told you that Morrowind had revolutionnary combat was a bit off. Certainly it was DIFFERENT, but so would replacing all NPCs with flying purple unicorns that belch rainbows. The combat was horrendous: when you swing your weapon, there's a chance it will deal 0 damage, depending on your weapon skill and the enemy's armor skill. But here's the catch: even at high levels, with your weapon skills maxed, you still "miss" about 1/3 of your shots. The enemies sure don't miss, though. The combat is so clunky and awkward. The rest of the game is great, but the combat always irritates me. And since you're ALWAYS in combat, it stands out.
