I totally agree about the shorter questlines - IMO the Companions were a massive letdown. The FG in Oblivion had a much much longer questline. It's the same with the DB and TG as well. (I haven't got far enough in the College to comment yet)

Whilst I do think that in terms of the gameplay and graphics, TES is better than ever with Skyrim, I just think that it is still inferior in content to Morrowind. Skyrim has loads more miscellaneous sidequests than OB or MW, but the factions feel dead and the Nord culture feels like it needs more filling out (it's loads better than TESIV for that, but compared to the Dunmer lore and culture in MW, it's seriously inferior).

In MW the factions had really long questlines and had multiple questgivers, and in the FG for example, you could get a quest from 3 people at the same time, all of which progress you further in the questline, but in the Companions there is only one quest at a time, and about 5 quests (plus generated radiant quests).

The cities are very well made though IMO. The OB cities were really empty and lifeless, but in Skyrim they are full of people doing stuff and not standing around aimlessly in the street.
