    I’ve been playing Morrowind again, finally actually giving the main quest a good chance. I’ve tried getting into it almost every year and it’s never clicked for me but this time it finally did. I’m having a blast with it.

      Whatever you do next in Morrowind, get yourself OpenMW NOW, a vanilla friendly overhaul pack (the graphics overhaul is absolutely insane AND installs automatically via their mods page/nexus) and Tamriel Rebuilt. This will blow your mind.

        I’ve been running OpenMW already and it’s been great. I haven’t added any extra mods yet, figured I’d do that with a second playthrough. Tamriel Rebuilt looks awesome, I’ll definitely try that one. Thanks!

      I think MW has my favorite rpg main story ever.
      You’re told to learn about a cult. Infiltrate it. And then become it’s God like hero. It’s not a common storyline these days.

        It’s a great story so far. I just finished fulfilling the 4th and 5th prophecies and I’m on my way to Vivec now I think.

        I always loved the idea behind Oblivion’s story, not actually being the hero but the one helping the real protagonist. But I see Morrowind also has a really awesome idea for a story too. It’s too bad Skyrim dropped the ball on main storyline.

          Yeah I like not being the main character. MW had you thinking you weren’t too, for awhile. Until the god like powers manifest

            Yeah I really like how MW starts. Right after you leave the census office you’re told “you’re on your own now. Good luck” and it really does feel like that for a bit. You meet Caius and he gives you some cash and tells you to get a job basically. Join some guilds, level up, then maybe I’ll have work for you. I just love how casual and mostly realistic it feels. Then even when things get going it still feels like you’re some random person just trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s pretty cool.

              Have you played Tainted Grail? The game play is a lot like Morrowind. There’s even a prison escape sequence. It’s has enough new systems to be interesting.

              (Edit. There is no prison escape in MW, but it’s a series staple)

                I haven’t, but I’ll add it to my list to check out. I want to spend a lot more time in MW before considering another game, and I don’t get much time to play these days, but I’ll definitely consider that one in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.
