i remember my confusion in morrowind when i seen the door of my first dwemer ruin i think it was called aleft. anyway i enter the strange structure and am immediately greeted by a large spider which nearly kills me and after i killed the little monster i noticed it was a robot and was confused as all get out thinking "what the hell is a robot doing in this game!?". then i go around and see various steam generators and other machines around the ruins and was further confused wondering just what the hell made this place. and after a few more near death robo spider fights i discover a chest and i believe my exact words where "oh boy loot!" and it was there i received a dwarven spear and a dwemer bracer and i ended up remembering the local dark elves wood elves and high elves having there preferred racial names of dunmer bosmer and altmer so i ended up wondering what a dwemer was. and was confused why the dwarven spear was so large a dwarf couldnt possibly wield one effectively and besides they use axes. it was later i learned dwemer and dwarven was the same thing dwarven was just the imperial word for it and that the dwemer weren't short people they where a lost race of elves who where masters of enchantments and technology. it was a beginning of an obsession with all things dwemer which i thankfully will be able to continue in skyrim

I read this as I was exploring my first Dwewer ruin on Morrowind.
I can't believe I could not get into Morrowind until now, I'm so glad I did

I guess a fond TES memory for me would be buying Daggerfall on eBay and then it being released for free the next week or so

Nah seriously, I loved Hackdirt in OB.
While I've never read any Lovecraft I'm familiar with his style and loved the little nuances of it in that quest, plus it was hella' creepy, their eyes, euuuurgh!

haha
