All I'll say to you is "it's just a game". Really, people make too big a deal of these things. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love playing Morrowind for nearly 10 years now and I occasionally play Oblivion as well. Gaming is one of the best forms of entertainment to me, but still, I don't get the total obsession. There are much more important and interesting things to think about in life. I admit, I also check these forums daily, but that's it. I just focus on the things I have right now, I have enough stuff to do, to read, to watch and to play. The world is so full of entertainment, I don't get the obsession over just one single game, as much as I love TES games.
My "obsession" consists of visiting these forums daily and having a Skyrim wallpaper. The day it is released I'm off to the store to get my copy and play the game for at least one full day.
