Morrowind is 20 Years Old Today Options

What the topic title says!

Morrowind was released 20 years ago today in the US. I was a high school senior at the time, and didn't really have any way of playing it, but I did remember being impressed with the otherworldly quality of the screenshots and from flipping through the art book that a friend owned. The world just didn't look like any other gameworld I'd seen, and I appreciated that.

Didn't end up playing it until 2009, but I fell in love with it then. Morrowind was my introduction to The Elder Scrolls in general, and since then I've had fun with Skyrim and Oblivion as well. Morrowind still has a pretty lively community, probably thanks in part to the setting having a very distinct look and feel.

And, of course, it led me here! So kudos all around!

And in large measure, because of Morrowind, we have this wonderful home on the web. My intro to the Elder Scrolls was Daggerfall, which was huge and addictive and ... buggy. But it showed me what was POSSIBLE for a CRPG. And then came Morrowind, and I fell in love with it in a way I never had before with a game.

Open-world, follow the main quest or don't, some really inspired writing (including humor---- just how many "Naked Nords" ARE there on that island, anyway?)

And it was Morrowind that finally allowed me to do what I had wanted to do since childhood- begin writing long-form fiction.

Salute.
