Hell, I'd say Morrowind is worse because you see your character actually swing and hit something but the game rolls failure. At least with Baldur's Gate you understand that them swinging at each other is a visual abstraction.
I really hate the way it's handled in the early Elder Scrolls games. I couldn't handle Daggerfall and got sick of Morrowind pretty quickly because of the impotent sword swings. While I might rationally understand it's a dice roll it makes me feel like an idiot standing there, flailing about. It takes me right out of what would otherwise be really amazing virtual worlds to get lost in.
