I used to be a Dragonborn like you, but then I got a fire arrow to my dedicated graphics card.
Now nothing newer than Oblivion will ever run on that machine.

Try Daggerfall Unity. Only the engine is newer, also loads of bugfixes and mod support.

Thanks, I'll try it.

luckily the last time Bethesda had good writing was Morrowind so you're not missing much

In Morrowind I like the story and the music. But as I explored the battle mechanics, I couldn't stand the randomness.
Also in a later retries after Oblivion and Skyrim I missed the real talking more than the graphics enhancements.
A bit unfair, I know. Maybe I'm not that game connoisseur myself.

yeah but the talking was annoying af. it felt like they had like four people voicing the entire game. meanwhile a small independent studio like supergiant makes a much smaller game fully voice acted but doesn't feel exhausted as quickly as Skyrim, with thousands of lines both written and performed fantastically. i can't excuse anything Bethesda is doing anymore. they're getting worse with every game, both in terms of writing and gameplay.

Yes, mostly Wes Johnson with a bit of a very annoyed Sean Bean.
But I have a soft spot for the over the top Sheogorath, the unnecessarily aggressive guard shouts and the calm voice of the Khajiit women.
Some of the other few voices I can't stand, especially the blacksmith of Chorrol ("A pleeeeasure to serve you").
