Monkey Island 1 and 2 are cheap on Steam, and are HD remakes of the originals. Great games, with attractive visuals, that play nice with laptops.
If you want to get into a book, as someone above suggested, try Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's part one of his new 10-part series, and is a massive thousand-page long tome of a book. Not only will take a lot of time to get through, but it's an amazing story with some of the best reviews a fantasy novel has received in a very long time.
Otherwise, if you really can't put aside your excitement for TES, Morrowind GOTY is going very cheap these days. A friend of mine recently started a new Morrowind character and traveled straight to Solstheim. Scratched his itch for Skyrim, and gave him a challenging Morrowind playthrough.
