I read about Arena in a magazine i bought. I didn't have the money back then nor the kind of quality PC to run Daggerfall. But when the time was there..... I liked the freedom you had there. Killed someone in city X in country A, go to city Y in country B and start over. I could climb walls and fly over the citywalls at night when they were closed. The freedom was... maybe too much even.

actually a friend told me about some game called oblivion. I didnt believe him at first when he told me how great that game was. I didnt want to spend money on some wasteless game. but one day I found oblivion when I was looking on my dad's computer for a game to try. I saw oblivion icon on the desktop and i tried it. that first intro i watched... priceless. i had to have a game I thought. so the next thing I did was to simply go to a game store to buy oblivion.

Daggerfall, watched my roommate play it in High School (yeah boarding school) and basically loved the idea. Beat him up and played while he was crying and bleeding in the corner (by which I mean, got the game for my own computer).

I started with Daggerfall's Betony Demo I got from PC Gamer's demo disk.
I was 9 years old then and had a very basic English knowledge. I didn't read the dialogue, I just looked for keywords for quests such as the city's name, residence, creature, person to talk to, etc.

I then asked for the game for Christmas and I've been playing the game since then. I must have created over a hundred characters, all of which I get rid off after I've played enough with them.

I finished the game last year, for the first time. Without cheats or guides. It was about time!

My story is similar to this one.

October 2008, just before Halloween. I was bored or something, trying to decide if it was worth buying a PS3 yet.

SO I went to www.gamerevolution.com and started reading the reviews on various games on the PS3. I literally started with the A section. Nothing. I'm not sure if Assassin's creed was out yet, or if I knew what it was about. Anyways, I breezed thru the As. Moved to the Bs...nothing really interesting.There weren't very many PS3 game reviews to read back then.

C...D..E....F...G....H...I....J.....K....L...M...O...P..Q...R...S...T


T. there was an RPG in the T section, rated A+ by the reviwer. Hmmm....

Anyways, I read this review:

Afterward, I couldn't get to the store fast enough!I've been waiting for an RPG this good for a long, long time. 450 gone in less than 40 minutes!

I was just amazed by the eye-candy in this game. I literally just walked around looking at stuff. I wa in LOVE with this game. Combat was really icing on the cake.

I started with it right when Morrowind came out. I was in like 3rd grade or something, so I was still watching Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon network. They did some video game reviews after schools got out, and one of them they did Morrowind. All I remember from the commercial was a guy in glass armor, and I thought the overall look of it was really cool. I rented it, went around doing nothing, and thought it was awesome. I'd just go around stealing [censored] and taking the silt strider and boats everywhere. I remember finding a Telvanni city, and I was lost with it.

I gave it back a week later and forgot about it, then my friend brought it up and I remembered it was awesome. We talked about it a bit, and both wound up going out and getting it. From then, I've found every nook and cranny in the game, and still go back and work out a character through the game up to level 40, never getting bored.

I also loved Oblivion for like two years, but going back to that game doesn't share the same novelty, probably because Morrowind was the introduction to the series and isn't as easy.

Bought Morrowind on a whim back in '03, still playing it today (I've surely clocked twice maybe thrice the amount of hours with MW than I have with OB)

My mom and step-father wanted to get me something nice for Christmas, so they listened to some suggestions at the store. They got an XBox 360 with Oblivion and a few games that my siblings could play. I was mostly excited for Tenchu Z. But then I played Oblivion. Immediately I took to the vivid landscape in the intro, and the ridiculously in-depth facial customization. It was better than any fantasy game I'd ever played.

That first moment I exited the sewers and saw the landscape, I was in awe. Without even meaning to, I did sort of an RP-character because I thought "with a game this deep, I bet sleeping at night will even keep my fatigue high!"
That, and I didn't learn about fast-travel until after I'd done two entire guilds' worth of quests.

The magic kinda went away when I started modding. Suspension of disbelief and all. But now I'm laying off a lot of games like it for a long time, so TES V will be that much sweeter.
