Thanks, but I don't think I (or others) consider myself hardcoe yet.

I've been playing RPGs since the first computer came to our house. And I only play single player (with two exceptions, Baldur's Gate II and Icewind Dale, each only once in online coop mode).
Played Morrowind and was smitten by it; I still play it now and then. Oblivion quickly lost its charm (I can't look at it anymore), but it was good enough to keep up interest in TES (which means it was still better than most of the others). So then, Skyrim when it came along.

WIN

When I was 13 my mum got my older brother Oblivion on the release date. Ever since that day, I've been hooked on TES.

I was an mmorpg'er for a long time but I got sick of the social aspect, dealing with obnoxious idiots and the way that you are expected to play a certain class a certain way with a certain build. I also began to despise the constant gear grind and lack of depth. (WoW)

So, I decided to go with single player RPG's. Skyrim is the first single player RPG that I have ever really gotten into since I began playing mmo's 8-9 years ago and I have never looked back and never will.

I love being in my own world where I am left to my own, undisturbed, imagination and privacy.
