Some of the stuff they talked about inspired the old excitement I used to get from morrowind. An example being the thing about the Grey Fox.
Wjenever in a game I see something subtle that doesn't seem to matter (especially when there are 400 books and millions of tiny little details to see) that becomes significant later, it completely immerses me in the story.
That's what I can't wait, for those who didn't hear it, Andy was talking about seeing a random poster on the wall in town and reading it, it was a wanted poster about this "Grey Fox" character. Later he got arrested for stealing an apple and sent to jail. When he got out, a dark elf was standing there with a note, which he handed to Andy's character, and said nothing walking away.
Andy read the note, and it was an invitation by the thieve's guild to meet a certain character at the docks, the Grey Fox.
Stuff like that is what really makes it worth it to have 400 books around. I can't wait for little details that I barely notice to become significat, to hear about the legends before I meet them.
