        Oh! I think I’ve heard of it before. I’ll look it up. For anybody who has played it: is it fun?

          Morrowind remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It’s a bit more hardcore RPG than Skyrim for sure, and that may turn some folks off. And it’s definitely an older game with most of the dialog written. But it is an EXCEPTIONAL game. The world is beautiful and varied and exploration still feels more rewarding than Oblivion or Skyrim, the amount of lore to explore is HUGE, the specificity when building and leveling your character out exactly how you want is expansive, and the game doesn’t hold your hand - you can kill people who are vital to the main story if you want to, it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.

          Nowadays, I’d strongly recommend running it with the excellent OpenMW engine, it’s rock solid and performs better than the original game, hell there’s even a working multiplayer fork of it!

            Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.

            Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.

            Oh, Skyrim! I’ve heard of that before! Never played it though. Tried to download it once, but the software didn’t work properly and took up most of my RAM space. I was like “Not my RAM!” and immediately deleted it.

                I am. I code. Well, kind of. What I meant to say was “I play around with code that takes up a lot of my computer memory, actual memory, and RAM” and I really am quite fond of my little creations that I’ve made with my code and can’t bear the thought of parting with them/basically killing them by deleting them. They’re like children to me :,)

                  This is the weirdest troll I’ve ever seen, or you’re in the middle of a psychosis.
