I remember buying a 4400 Ti just for Morrowind
Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind

I bought a Radeon 9800 Pro for my 13th birthday.
I tell you, people kept telling me that I was wasting my life in front of a computer – but I lived an entire fucking lifetime in Morrowind, to the age of 92.
I must have walked every single square meter or Vvardenfell, and this was before major walkthroughs existed.

What’s your favorite place in here then? I’m pretty basic so I’d pick Molag Mar for how one canton of Vivek looks weird placed in the wilderness, and I’m curious what would be your loved one.

I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.
The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.
Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.
Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.
Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.
I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.

You are cool. I felt something similar to these places.

That place stands out in my memory too as really ominous. That and the plains in the northeast where I first defeated a golden saint, the astroid prison frozen above Vivek City, and the libraries and book stores.
