upcoming sequel to morrowind, oblivion

There was once a time when I would have thought Morrowind the God of games. But I've played games like this soooo many times, LOL. They have to be really special to grab me now.

In fact these days I'm often more of a game sampler than player. I'll play a game for a week or two, just to get the flavour and check out the mechanics. Every game has its flaws and once I find them I tend to lose interest. There are very few games that keep me interested for longer. STW did. I also played right through Age of Wonders II and most of Panzer General 3D, but that would be a rarity for me nowadays.

When it comes to RPG's like Morrowind though, I actually enjoyed Might and Magic um, 8 I think it was, more. I only quit playing it when I found a bug that prevented me from finishing the quest. Oh, and when I found the solution to a puzzle that was so damn obscure it discouraged me from continuing. But I do miss smacking down those vampire-types with a barrage of missile fire, LOL.

Also had some fun with Dungeon Siege, especially in the first part where it's all new and you only have primitive weapons and elementary magic to help you along. The game just got too repetitive and silly though. I got about halfway through, maybe I'll fire it up one day and try to get a bit further. But you know how it is with computer games, you really need 48 hours in the day to play them and still have time for a life *sigh*...

Yeah, I come from the generation where most computer games seem like an incredible feat of entertainment and pseudo-adventure. I was a D&D fanatic back in high school, and a DM (I actually got paid to do it from time to time :D). Things have come a long way since graph paper and dice and vivid, relatively unassisted imaginations, so I'm easily ensorcelled by a decent RPG. I played only the original Morrowind, and on an x-box, so I've only experienced the tip of the Elder Scrolls iceberg. Oblivion looks amazing, and I'm sure I'll be an easy win-over.
