Morrowind.
Go out and get it now. Its expansion packs, Bloodmoon and Tribunal, are optional.
You will ADORE it. It's the most immersive game I've ever played.
Bacon can testify to its power. He used to get up early before work so he could play.
Xenalyte do you have any suggestions for mods other than the ones on the Morrowind official website?
I played through twice, once early right out of the box and once after the expansions and used the mods on the site.
Yea if you're looking for exploration, Morrowind is for you. The world is enormous.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone.. I really need to check out the "Chat" sections of FR more often. Some neato topics here that I am missing by just subscribing to "News".
