And if so...how old are they?.....My old man is 69 years old....he likes to watch me play...but he thinks it's too complicated...

My parents have been dead for some time now. So, no.

It is the opposite case with me: I got my daughter to play. She was 12 when Morrowind came out. She used to watch me play for hours. I would offer to let her play but she did not seem interested.

That changed when she was 13. Suddenly she wanted to play. So I installed Morrowind on her computer, gave her a few beginning pointers to get her started and left the room (we raised her to be independent). She would come into my study if she had questions and I would get up and sit by her for awhile and give her whatever advice I could think of. Soon she was playing so much time that I bought her her own copy of the game.

The tables were turned now. Now it was me who was spending hours watching her play. I loved this. This was a wonderful period. We had a new topic to talk about. We'd frown slightly apart as she reached puberty. I think both of us had become embarrassed around each other. And this gave us a new way to connect.

It wasn't long before she wanted to mod. I showed her the how the Construction Set worked and let her loose to create. She soon had her a house for her character, weapons and armor, had changed the gameplay to suit her tastes and was landscaping vast tracts of Vvardenfell. It was really great. I would sit beside her and watch as she moved plants and trees around and we'd chat about school or whatever she wanted to talk about. I look back on that as a magical time in my life.

She eventually moved on to other interests. But I have always thought that playing (and modding!) Morrowind re-established our relationship. She's in her 20's now, lives on the other side of the US, but we keep in constant touch by email and instant message. I give Morrowind some credit for that.

I apologize for for my long-winded reply. This subject is very close to to me.
