Skyrim is better. Plays much smoother. You are dragonborn. Music is much more rich. Graphics... Atmosphere.... Dude... Srsly pick up and play both for an hr a piece and tell me which is better. Both r great games, but Skyrim does so much that marrowind doesn't. At this point in time, Skyrim is OVERALL a better game AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I do understand the feels for other people who may still like other elder scrolls games more, but Skyrim has definitely set the bar high for video games as a whole. Ever notice how people seem to compare every new adventure game to Skyrim? Not marrowind. Both kick ass though
