But probably the most telling portion of playing both Oblivion and Skyrim, is that while I play both games and enjoy them greatly, both of them make me want to fire up Morrowind. Dovahkiin, Hero of Kvatch, Dragonborn, Champion of Cryodill...
These games make me feel like a celebrity almost right out of the gate. And my appreciation shows in the 100+ hours I've put into Oblivion and the 70+ hours I've put into Skyrim thus far. But at the end of a play session of either of those games, and all I have the urge to hear is:
Wake up. We're here. Why are you shaking? Are you okay? Wake Up!
