Is it laziness? A skill issue? Did they really just not know how to do it and say “that’s good enough”?

3D rotations require quite a bit of MATH, it wouldn’t surprise me if they couldn’t figure it out and decided it wasn’t worth the effort.

Bang for buck.

Morrowind was made by a team of about 35 people. Sure they could have put the effort in but then you’ve got all those animations to make and test. How do they tie into stats? Do they look dumb at higher stat levels? Also they’ll use up a little more resources on console which was a big struggle (Morrowind literally had to reboot the Xbox mid game to free up memory).
