I  used to love flying around in CoH (saddly gone now).

Also in Saints Row IV it's probably a bit too good (GTA ripoff, but IV 
you have superpowers, SR IV is better than GTA IV or V IMHO, and the Gat 
outa Hell DlC is like a whole new game... set in hell.)

I've heard you can get flying mounts in Wow now too.

Lego Marvel Superheroes has flight, but it's a bit limited in missions 
as you have to solve puzzles to get your non-flying heroes to each spot, 
who are required to solve thier puzzles etc. The city itself is set up a 
bit like GTA III and you can fly around it though.  It's a surprisingly 
good game.  You can do the same in Lego Batman 2, but it takes 
considerably longer to get to the flying characters and the game seems 
to be much shorter.

You can kind of fly in Fallout 4.  It's pretty limited though, more like 
a short rocket boost, and only really near the end and you almost (do?) 
have to invest heavily in the right skills.  There's mods that let you 
go full on flight or adjust the fuel used, but never used them, the game 
was so leggy as it was, flying around seemed like a bad idea.

I'd love more personal flying in fantasy rpgs.  Flight's one of the 
must-have spells in D&D and available fairly early, yet, you can't 
really do it in any of the old D&D computer games.

I remember those too.  Feather fall at the end, that was good stuff.

Bethesda's always made ugly ugly characters.  I think I posted here on 
how disturbing I found them for Oblivion.  They've gotten ever so 
slightly better, I find the Skyrim ones tolerable.

I didn't care much for Morrowind, mainly because it was so ridiculously 
easy.
