For a game that came out in 2006, it has aged very well. It's still very fun and while not as refined as Skyrim, it has a lot of systems within the game that I think actually work better.

For a game that came out in 2006, it has aged very well. It's still very fun and while not as refined as Skyrim, it has a lot of systems within the game that I think actually work better. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the Elder Scrolls universe and lore or anyone who wants a decent RPG to play (if you can look past the graphics).

It's done. 136 hours, according to Steam. I didn't complete everything there's to do, but I did finish the main storylines and expansions. Boy, do I have feelings about this game, mostly disappointment when I compare it to Morrowind, but at the end of the day, it was enjoyable enough. Longer review coming later.

I keep trying to play this game and keep quitting because I get bored with it. It's just too old. Overrated. I don't like the graphics AT ALL. Not even in a nostalgic way. And after playing for like 6 hours, I"m still level 1. Got tired of that.... So, I give up. Finally for good. After restarting this game …

I keep trying to play this game and keep quitting because I get bored with it. It's just too old. Overrated. I don't like the graphics AT ALL. Not even in a nostalgic way. And after playing for like 6 hours, I"m still level 1. Got tired of that.... So, I give up. Finally for good. After restarting this game a half dozen times over the years, I just can't bring myself to waste time playing it any more. There are such better RPGs. In fact, in the last 6 months, I've played Skyrim Special Edition clear through. And started Witcher 3. If this game had a more appealing opening sequence and enjoyable quests at start, I would have kept playing. But it's just drudgery.

This is the game that got me into gaming. Prior to this, I had played only 2 games:- Indiana Jones and the infernal machine & Spiderman. I had always enjoyed good stories(used to read 1 novel a week earlier), but post playing this game, I was fully on board with gaming especially role playing games where I was the narrator, the shaper of story & its beats. Haven't looked back since & now games have become the most cherished entertainment medium for me ahead of movies, tv shows & books.
