Morrowind is very hard, while Oblivion and Skyrim are surely easier to play.

In Morrowind you have no compass to indicate the quest objectives, it's an old-style RPG game, made for old-style RPG players, you have to deduce where your objectives are located just reading the quest log. Moreover the combat system is clunky.

Of the games of this series I prefere Skyrim. I occasionally replay it, and it's always a good experience.

Last time I broke the left mouse key, and I had to replace my mouse; damned archer character!

Perhaps next time I will try with joypad.

Much more immersive.

As my character served the House Hlaalu, I made sure that, when I ended up getting that house near Balmora, that I kept a handy supply of books. I wanted to understand the mythology that was ingrained in it so I began to read every single book out there when I was in a bookstore or a library - used to hang out in the Ashland regions a lot as well. I loved that game !

I remember taking a ton of notes back in the day (I had a whole notebook full of them). And you needed to do that because otherwise you'd never find your objective.

Now that's what you call making the most out of the game! I was always a Telvanni man myself - I liked the ridiculously overpowered magical artifacts you got as rewards, and the Telvanni councillors often had very interesting personalities. Although I suppose there probably wasn't a single NPC more interesting in that game than Crassius Curio. Damn, this is making me want to reinstall again.

Curio was a very interesting character ! I always wondered why they never improved on the series by further working on the story.

Magic The Gathering: Arena only nowadays. I can enjoy a simulation game too, though, like Prison Architect.

Red Dead Redemption, Total War, CK2 and EU4, Company of Heroes 2, Dark Souls franchise, Mount and Blade.

The Witcher Series, Uncharted Series, Mass Effect Series, God of War Series, The Last of Us. I prefer very story driven games.

The Mass Effect Trilogy is a masterpiece, one of the best series of all times, you are the protagonist and the writer of the plot, which changes according to your choices during the game.
