    Love this. I’m gonna have to buy morrowind and oblivion so I can play them I never knew about morrowind when it came out bc I didn’t play pc games yet and I bought a physical pc version of oblivion but my pc wasn’t good enough for more than about 20fps so I only played about an hour of choppy gameplay. Happy Birthday, btw.

    I love that for Morrowind even the guide is called The Morrowind Prophecies. Everything about Morrowind was made with care and an attempt to make the world feel real. The later games can be fun, but none of them do this to the same degree.

    Also, in my experience, Linux is much better at handling legacy titles than Windows is at this point. It’s weird, but one more advantage for Linux!

    I try to play those games but then end up spending a few days just sorting mods and trying to get them all to work together, it’s stressful but also satisfying when it actually works then i play for 200 hours and reach a specific point and the game keeps crashing…

    I have been playing OpenMW with Tamriel Rebuilt for the past couple of months and I don’t think I will be able to finish it in my lifetime. It’s wonderful.

    +1 for physical strategy guides! I’ve started collecting them, since most of them are pretty cheap these days (some are like $80+ though). It’s nice to be able to unhook oneself from the Internet and be able to enjoy games completely offline again, and these guides help complete that notion.
