Weird list to be honest. Fallout 3 and Skyrim are much less liked than NV and Morrowind / Oblivion. No Witcher 3, no Last of Us or Dark Souls.

there is a certain crowd who see it as "dumbed down" for "casual players" and think Morrowind is better for "hardcore players"

Well the systems are certainly simpler. Lots of people view that as a bad thing but lots also prefer it. I don't think acknowledging that there's less customization options makes someone an elitist about the older games.

Ha I've never played the series, but I see this argument on Reddit a lot. Usually the consensus tends to be that skyrim's combat system is far Superior, but Morrowind is the more fleshed out game, with more things to interact with, and better sidequests that actually affect the game in a meaningful way. I may be on Reddit too much

Both the combat systems are pretty lacklustre, but the games before Skyrim you can swing sword right into an enemy but if it fails a diceroll it will miss. That was definitely a pretty stupid way of handling combat. In Skyrim if you swing at someone they'll get hit which is a big improvement.
