• Morrowind. I’d played it when it came out but didn’t get very far. Tried it again after watching an 8 hour video about it. Focused on speed in my build so I didn’t feel like running at a snail’s pace. Finding the dead people that failed to become Nerevar, giving some guy a book of poetry without a quest telling me to, getting used to the layout of Vivec, actually enjoying the fast travel system, and lots more all added up to such a great experience.

      Morrowind was the most immersive game I ever played. Something about it made it so I could just get really into it and focus on nothing else for hours. Not even the other elder scroll games were that way for me. I’d give anything to be able to re-live those days. I don’t think it’s even possible anymore with how much other shit I have going on in my life as an adult.

      Favorite game of all time.

        I feel that. It is still the game I have logged the most time with, which considering I’ve got about 1,300 hours in Elite Dangerous is kinda scary. Between the original Xbox, PC, and Xbox One BC, I’ve got about 1,800 hours in it. Thoroughly enjoyed breaking every aspect of Morrowind.
