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!
For me Morrowind came after Oblivion. It was an impressive game, but the walls of text killed it for me, as well as constantly getting lost in Vivec. I think the graphics were just not good enough to be able to tell one canton from another... Anyway, that's my excuse. So I went back to Oblivion. And now Morrowind is here again! All hail Morroblivion! (Although I shall probably still get lost in Vivec. )
