Put it in the easiest difficulty, punch a guy and watch him fly. This is the best Elder Scrolls for this reason alone.
The jank, the "vanilla fantasy world" aesthetic, the immortal but useless following fan of the arena, the weird ass dialogues between NPCs in town... It's just so good. And not in a "so bad it's good" way. It's legit a fantastic game, which becomes even better thanks to all the weird ass shit in it.
Also has the perfect alchemy between real role play mechanics (which Skyrim lacks) and more casual RPG design (which Morrowind lacks, to my taste !)
Discovering it in the summer of 2008 is a core gamer memory for me.
