:rock: oh man i dont even know where to start...oh yeah many years ago...soon after morrowind had come out. i was playing games like halo, and sands of time on my xbox. my friend jon would always bring new games over to my place for us to play. one day he brought over a game called morrowind. i had never herd of the elderscrolls, so i had no clue what to expect. infact i hadnt even played very many rpg's. the first time we played it, i was like "holy crap this game looks incredible" i played for a few hours and was very disappointed at the fact that i could not kill anything. stumbling into some caves near the opening town, and getting creamed. it was torturous for me not to be able to take down foes, or even hit them for that matter. so i told jon that i didnt want to play this game anymore, he agreed. a few weeks later, i was bored and had nothing to do. i noticed that jon had left morrowind next to the console. so i searched the internet for info on the game. and learned some cheats and strats. then gave it another try. i was blown away at how much more i enjoyed the game. the only thing that stopped me from enjoying it the first time around was the tedious combat. and i had fixed that soul trap ability/skill glitch. i then played it for months, everyday, whenever i had nothing else to do, and sometimes even when i did have things to do, or places to be. i was addicted. a year or two later, i herd about oblivion. and became very exited, because after being enthralled in morrowind, no other games i played seemed very good. i started playing other rpg's, including baulders gate 1 and 2 champions of norath, kotor 1 and 2, bards tale, and fable. the only ones that enjoyed where the kotor's, mosly cus love starwars. it was getting closer to oblivions release date. i pre ordered it, then it got delayed. the day it finally got released, was the day i bought my first 360. and almost got creamed by a train on my way back to gamestop, after making a trip to the bank. i got lost in OB for many months, ignoring my girlfriend, and even sometimes my friends. the gameplay was lightyears beyond any rpg i had played. even though the world was lacking many of the things i loved a MW, the improvements made up the difference. i no longer buy any rpg that ISNT made by BGS. and dont even buy many games at all because they all just disappoint! and it is certainly not worth buying a game that i can beat in a week or less. which most games now adays seem to be. so i just rent, or borrow a friends.
so hell yes...thank you BGS, for the elderscrolls, and even fallout 3.
i eagerly, excitedly, anxiously....await TES:V, so i can get lost, and get yelled at for not paying attention to my girlfriend once again.
