Hello everybody, I'm Proweler and I'm a Elderscrollaholic.

It started Summer 02. I had read in my game magazine that the huge world contained thousands of hand placed items and I figured that such a game has to be good. When I picked up the box I was blown away by the cover, a brown book with plastic golden inscriptions.

I installed the game and I kinda blacked out. I told all my friend about Morrowind and soon everybody was playing. We told each other the stuff we did. Most of that time was one big haze.

Once I finished the game I kept looking for more, I tried modding but because I didn't speak English that good I never bothered to publish them. After I got bored with modding Tribunal and Bloodmoon came out. I played through them as well, delighted with the new fix of Morrowind goodness.

Halfway through I got interested in Lore. I started reading and posting on the Lore forums. I joined in what I now consider the golden age, people were actively discussing lore and doing serious role-playing.

Once I finished Bloodmoon I took a break. It must have been Summer 03 because I went on vacation got a gf and a life for a while and I started playing other games.

Once that all was over I started looking back at the stuff I'd done and I started to play Morrowind again. This time I got really hooked on Lore and once you are hooked there is no way back. If you have been clean for a week you'll suddenly realize something that draws you back all the way in.

That is my story, I hope you enjoyed it and don't feel to bad about your own addiction. You could be me afterall.
