Might very well be because of nostalgia, but I like Morrowind the best. The setting alone puts it above Oblivion (wherein they retconned Cyrodiil into "Generic Fantasy RPG Land"). It felt foreign and fantastic, feelings I rarely get when playing fantasy games (ironically enough). It also had one of the better faction systems of all the TES games, in addition to the sheer number of factions there were. The magic system was also nice, though I understand the reasoning for stripping down the spell system in Oblivion, what with the removal of Slow Fall, Mark/Recall & Levitation.

But anyways; Morrowind.
