Hi guys, im new here.

I ain't new to elder scrolls though. I started playing at 2003 with Morrowind. I made an article about how the series was immortalized. Hope you like it:

Interesting read. I definitely agree about the significant contribution modding has made to the series - TES just wouldn't be the same for me without it.

It always irritates me slightly when people who dislike TES and criticise it in comparison to other RPGs always cite obvious flaws that are so easily remedied by mods.
