      Morrowind was utterly amazing and set up bars that are still being look at two decades later.

      For starters, only the Rimworld engine gets close to how moddable the creation engine is. It truly is a masterpiece of design.

      Then, as cheesy as it is, for an Open world sandbox RPG with a quest line.

      But they’ve been riding that gravy train for 20 years too, and all they really did was jam in graphical improvements, add increasingly barebones action elements(sword/gunplay) and rip out RPG elements.

        No he didn’t

        The big blasts were definitely the 36 Lessons - done in a week, siloed in a single room, food left outside the door by roommate but hey kids no drugs, just lots of smokes and bourbon- the Mythic Dawn Commentaries were all written on a couple of bus rides, and all the Towers lore which I wrote one night at a laundromat waiting for my sheets to dry.
