Never even heard of them. For a start we want no always online bullshit, no battle passes or micro transactions. No stupid launchers either.

I keep finding all these cool games and instantly get deflated when I find out they're online. I want single player, i really don't like playing with other people.

I remember being a kid playing Morrowind and really wishing my friends could play with me.

Now I'm an adult and I don't want to play with the kids. They have way more time to play and take my ass to the cleaners. After the umpteenth time getting tea bagged while some 13 year old goes on about fucking my mother, his voice breaking repeatedly throughout, I swore off multiplayer.

I don't know of you know this or care anymore but there is a pretty solid morrowind multiplayer mod out now

And VR mod too.

There's a jump between your first paragraph and the second. In the first one you said you wanted to play with your friends. But in the second you got the worst of Internet boys.

I also wanted to play Morrowind with my friends. We got Elder Scrolls Online but that's a monkey's paw wish. I wanted drop in multiplayer and an experience more like left 4 dead. I don't want randoms. I want my friends. I don't want a big always online persistent world. I want the single player world, but with my friends.

If I keep going I'm just going to reinvent Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer. That's basically what I wanted back when. Not the MMO shit.

Hell, even the dark souls "summon a friend in" is like 70% of what I wanted.

I feel you, I mostly skip the online parts unless they are private games with a few people I know.
