Pushing against mountain sides until you finally get to where you want to go is exactly how I play Skyrim.

Getting control in cut scenes when you weren't supposed to and wandering off to check out other things is the other way I play Skyrim.

I had no idea I was speed running it.

The engine has been cobbled together with the corpses of multiple previous games because they never ever make different engines ever because Gamebryo "Just works!".

I think there are even bits of morrowind still used there, it really is just paperclips and duct-tape

Morrowind's combat is superior to that of Oblivion and Skyrim by virtue of you actually being able to kill things. Every fight in those games takes a loving eternity because Bethesda had no idea how to balance combat in which you never miss so every enemy is just a massive damage sponge and it is tedious as gently caress and there's nothing you can do about it at any point. In Morrowind you can hit most of the time even early on by building your class right or by just using destruction magic and most fights are over in seconds, and when you level up to like 20 or so most enemies are one or two shot kills.

I have started and quit Morrowind around 6 times because I enjoy the story and whatnot, but I could never hit anything in melee combat, so leaving the town kinda left me with nothing to do. Skyrim's combat actually worked and things die pretty fast in it. :shrug:

I've heard it is a great game, but the combat engine is complete trash and it renders it unplayable for me.

they could scale back on the megatextures or smth idk

It'd be a hell of a lot better to shoehorn and open world into idtech than to put another strip of duct tape on gamebryo.

when you're actually playing the game it's an interesting negotiation with a lot of back and forth, but it's utterly antithetical to speedrunning

I dont know if you care to mess with mods, but I assume there are mods to fix what is broken, like all bethesda games
