So, I started on Oblivion and of course played Skyrim. Finally, last weekend, I downloaded Morrowind from Steam. After getting a few mods installed and such, I started playing. Just a quick thanks to TES community. As a newbie to Morrowind and mods, you have been very welcoming and helpful. Anyhoo, it took me all of 2 hours to realize how truly incredible this game is. Considering this is now 10 years old and STILL popular says a lot. By the time I finished up Seyda Neen and headed to Balmora, I thought to myself, oh boy, lotsa text to read, and I have NO idea where I'm going half the time. I'm not sure if this game is for me.

Skip ahead about 1 hour and I again thought to myself, what the hell was I thinking earlier. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not having a quest tracker or compass of any kind, and barely having a clue where I was half the time actually added to my enjoyment. It just took me some time to realize that. I honestly can't remember any game having such a tangible atmosphere to it. This is the most immersive game I've played. Oblivion and Skyrim may look better, but they are nowhere as immerisve as Morrowind, IMO. I can't stop playing. I LOVE this game and only wish I had taken a chance earlier. Every thing people have said about this game is true, and it is by FAR my favorite TES game. (Haven't played Arena or Daggerfall yet.) I'm looking forward to months, hell, maybe even years of enjoyment from this game. Quest markers and fast travel be damned. Morrowind deserves the time it requires. I can't wait to get lost again.
