Morrowind

I'm playing for the first time in my life now.

I've recently had my first kid, and as such, I need a game that I can quickly pick up and put down. Ideally, the game is also playable in long form as well.

Enter openmw for android. The only on screen controls that have ever been usable. Convenient quick save. Minimal load times.

I can hop on, play a little, and get off in a hurry if I need to. I thought I'd be stuck playing old Pokemon ROMs with save states until she hit an age of independence.

This is how I learned about mods and Creeper! Also how to use summoning to fill soul gems.

Good memories

I'll start :)

I still clearly remember one particular incident. It was my first playthrough, where I didn't know what to do at all, and I've been pretty battered down. I arrived in Pelagiad while the sun was settling behind the horizon, really exhausted and close to getting killed. But just the feeling of finally going around the corner and seeing the tavern, knowing I'll be safe there, was an amazing feeling of relier. I'll hold it with me forever, and I don't think any other game managed to implement it in such a way.

What are your memories?

I got OpenMW running on my old Thinkpad thats running Fedora Linux with over 200+ mods. I didn't think it would but its running just fine; I couldn't believe it. Has not crashed once in 60hrs but I thinks that due to OpenMW.

here's the modlist if anyone is curious: https://modding-openmw.com/lists/expanded-vanilla/

I've been playing through the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for the first time. It blows my mind how much work and love is being put into it. and they just released a huge update last month. Dare I say, the quest/story writing is much better than original Morrowind. I spent maybe 30+ hours on the mod and I'm guessing I have at least 100+ hours more to go.

I highly recommend, you reading, to install OpenMW and at least get Tamriel Rebuilt mod going. You won't regret it.

Morrowind has a special place in my heart. But it seems rather dead here.

Which quest is your favorite?
