I'm modding Morrowind, but not playing it currently.

I plan to buy other stuff this year. I rarely buy a game when it first comes out, I like to wait for patches and price drops. I have many other games to play, and other games from last year and the year before that I want to buy.

That's a 2012 title though.

Well, as preparation for Skyrim, I'm replaying Oblivion, but I'm replaying Dead Space 2 as well (just for the hell of it). As for any other game I'm anticipating this year...nothing, really. Unless my friends beg me to get Modern Warfare 3...but other than that, I'm going to be playing the hell out of Skyrim, so I'll be too busy to play anything else.

I'm getting BF3 no doubt, but for about 2 weeks prior to Skyrim's release I plan to log like 10 hrs a day playing Oblivion again to get back into it. :D

Have been playing Morrowind, but stopped to play Portal 2, just beat it today so I'll probably continue on with my char in Morrowind.

Im playing morrowind right now. I've come to find out that I like the combat mechanics of switching between melee and magic MUCH more then oblivion's system. The quests are a little cut and dry though. Go here kill that, or go here to find X and along the way kill Y. Persuasions is a lot more important then I remember, but it is a very un involving process to say the least. Still, a fun game I know i'll be playing until 11/11/11.

I've been playing through Daggerfall and I'm trying to stay away from any 'modern' games with the hopes that if I only play Daggerfall until Skyrim comes out, my senses will be so starved graphically and my standards for diverse interactivity in video games become so low, that I will feel as though I've walked into some strange, futuristic land on November 11th -- a land where the tech is far more advanced and superior then anything I will have become accustomed to. A simulated time warp, so to speak, or a real-life, self-inflicted hardcoe mode, so that I can truly be blown away by TES V when it arrives. :laugh:

Don't get me wrong though...Daggerfall does some things really well, its just...well you guys should know what I mean.

Download it for free from bethesda. Just google it and install it under DOSBox. Also, don't forget the instructions on bethesda's pdf file.

Gonna play all the Elder Scrolls games and play The Witcher 2. I want to play P2, but that will have to wait until I have summer money since W2 is far more important to me since it is what I want the trending developers to make note of. Portal 2 is, from what I've seen, exceptional as all VALVe games forever shall be but it's an acquired (and extremely taxing) development style. With more people moving towards open-ended pseudo-RPGs, I think they could learn heaps from The Witcher 2.

I'm playing nearly-vanilla Morrowind (code patch) and I'll probably get Portal 2 in the coming months.
