Always a pleasure. :D

Something that I miss from Oblivion whenever I play Morrowind, are the npc schedules. Most morrowind npcs are frozen in place compared to oblivion npcs that move around, visit different places on different days, and go to sleep at night. It kind of ruins the immersion a bit for me.

There's a mod for exactly this in Morrowind.
I can't remember the name atm though.

I think I already have an outstanding donation for the next installment of Bard's Tale as well, I hope they're not spreading themselves too thin. I'll have to check back on the expected release date for that one.

The video was pretty cool. That scene with the devs and artists working together to make a game *they* want to play was pretty touching. One just hopes they'll get to play the game they want to some day. :)

If there ever was an unselfconscious Freudian slip, this was one of them. I backed Numenara project, but I am quite desperate for them to deliver something that is worthy of Torment.

Thx thou Klumpen! :-)

And because you can't fly over lava in some of the dungeons, so instead you trudge through it while constantly healing yourself...

I prefer to keep the fwd looking derivative instrument, as such - and yer crafty dinge at my bosom, were it about Morrowind.

But "present Torment" represents, I think, the idea that gaming is loved because the story is compelling.

And back to Morrowind, pray?

Have you looked into Tamriel Rebuilt?

Morrowind is my favorite game of all time and definitely Bethesda's best. They haven't nailed writing, world-building and immersion like they did in Morrowind in their subsequent games. Obsidian did a very nice job with New Vegas though.

Wouldn't it be great if you could put all those immersive games together? Imagine flying to some star system, touching down and then getting apprehended, thrown in jail and escaping to finish (or at least progress) some RPG on that planet before making your way back to your ship.

Maybe you land on a planet where you're inducted into a Ms. Pac Man competition and you get to play a game within a game. There are so many possibilities.

I did as you suggested.

So?

It's a way to add onto Morrowind to get more of the world of Tamriel, including those lands from Arena and Daggerfall.

Rememeber that quest in the Tribunal expansion where you participate in a public stage play which is about some romace story among the Dark Elves?

Yeah you probably won't see that in Skyrim.

Merry Christmas, old timer!
