Seriously, how many people here are old enough to know what game that's goddamn from.

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 35 points 1 year ago

You know everybody on the fediverse are old people right? Even the trolls are 30-45 year old trolls.

idk I played Morrowind because I was a huge fan of Oblivion and Skyrim, but when I built my first computer of my own it couldn't play either due to running on integrated graphics until I got a GPU. Ended up getting Morrowind to have something I could play.

Installing Morrowind on my Android phone with OpenMW was a really good choice. I have to commute a lot by train, and playing a little Morrowind really is a niceway to zone out.

It just takes being 30

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I'm probably old enough, but it's not a game I played personally.

... unless my alzeimers has already taken those memories from me

[-] IlliteratiDomine@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago

It's from Morrowind, released 2002.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I played Morrowind nearly 20 years ago, and I still play it on my phone from time to time

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. An amazing game set in the same world as Skyrim and Oblivion. Consider checking it out, you can buy it on steam and I suggest playing it with "OpenMW". It's a fan-made complete rewrite of the game engine, which fixes a lot of bugs and shortcomings and provides the ability for more modern stuff (running and optimizing it forobile phones, scripting language, modern graphics shaders etc).

Even though it's old and and you have to read a lot (soon the AI voice lines mods will drop however) it's an amazing RPG and really weird. Just for reference:

  • There are cat people who love drugs and they once believed that the moon was made of drugs so they just stacked themselves on top of each other to reach the moon
  • Two ancient civilizations had space programs
  • There's a guy who turned himself into a hermaphrodite god and then had a relationship with the god of rape. When he had enough of fucking and getting fucked, he bit off the god of rape's penis and made it into a spear. When the goddess of love and beauty told him to stop being such an asshole, he shoved his "spear" down her throat.

Edit: Story wise, the main story is probably one of the most creative stories I've ever seen. However, to really enjoy it, you need to either pay close attention to what people are saying, read the in game books, investigate and think for yourself, or read summaries on the Internet.

Edit2: Sorry, I just can't stop talking about that game which I've been playing for 2/3's of my life. It also features real racism onf display, discrimination, political and religious intrigue and corruption. The problems in this world are often very, very real.

There are 1000s of it not 10000s of video essays on YouTube of MW taylored to genz nerds with hundreds of thousands of views. The elder scrolls is pretty darn popular, Morrowind to boot.
