Well, I love it and hate it.
The scope of it is amazing, and it has some great moments, but everything looks bland, and the limited dilogue and choices is constraining.
The game is about being what you want to be, so maybe not being a core RPG fan is the reason why I didn't find it immersive, but realy, a game should create a world for you, not rely on your imagination, which I found this game to do alot, just apeal to it.
And there's a hell of alot of depth if you want it, just don't expect it with the majority of the characters.
Then there's the game being orientated around the first person perspective and the combat...
Morrowind is great, but I came at it at too late, and realy, I'm spoilt on clean menus and voices, the graphics and gameplay I can handle, I've only got to the beginning stages of the game, and everything is all too aparent as repetive and messy, does it get better (after you get to balmora or whatever it's called) soon, or is that pretty much how the game is the whole way through?
Now on to the actual topic:
It depends what you want, if you want Elderscrolls, I'd say two worlds or something like that because essentially they're mimicking it.
In terms of good RPG's, I'll say fable, which alot of people hated, but I loved it, the combat, even though it's a button masher is at least fun, and the world is great, and disntive in it's own.
The KOTOR series are great RPG's, sure, they're very different from the elder scrolls series, but if a great enganging story, role playing characters, and altogether a great world is what you want in an RPG (Please don't tell me you actually want the wall of statistics and items that all look the same).
Then there's fallout 3, haven't played the previous ones but already it reaks oblivion to me (in terms of general makeup), so if you like oblivion, you'll like it.
But yeah, everything I've mentioned has been repeated or you already know about, so my advice is do some surfing, probably youtube RPG's, or buy some old ones, there's tonnes of them out there.
