The Elder Scrolls

[TrainWreckWatcher]

Been running around in Morrowind and have been having a blast. I went up the west side of the island, grinding mobs to level 10, because I kept dying to that stupid wizard guy on the bridge. I also stole a bunch of imperial gear and made some crazy gold off of it, as well as some gear from the dark assassins. I raided this dwemer cave dungeon in a swampland and got a sick hammer that sold for 5000 gold too.

Morrowind (and Daggerfall, I watched the 4 hour retrospective video) have a kind of "sheen" to them in a way that the gaming industry nowadays just does not have anymore. I can only liken the feeling I receive when thinking about these two games to when I was a kid and playing Warcraft 3/WOTLK for the first time; the sense of a great and overarching fantasy world that just sucks you in and becomes part of your life.

Edit: Even with the very first song of Daggerfall, you just feel the careful craft of people pouring their heart and soul into it:

Maybe I'm picky but the remasters never hit it for me like the originals.
The original song has such a charm to it.
