When the game you’ve been playing for awhile is starting to feel like it’s burning you out (aka Wurm), it’s time to seek another game. And that game is something I haven’t touched in.. wow. Just over two years?! Dude, I’ve been away for awhile. Yet… like the lazy dumbass that I am, I’m also paying the $15 ‘subscription’ since then (hell, I’m even still paying for my WoW subscription. \ud83d\ude1b ) Guess I just don’t want to go through all the hell and the “we miss you” crap.
\nAnd the game I tell you isn’t<\/em> WoW, but the game in the title (which has been apparently renamed from ‘Tamriel Unlimited’ to ‘Morrowind’). I assume this ‘Morrowind’ thing is the first official expansion to ESO (yes there was also the others, but they were more like small DLCs). This seems to be the big one.<\/p>\n

The reason I decided to come back is I was going over some old Wurm posts to get some info about something, and then somehow uncovered posts from January 2015 about this game. So yeah.. just over two years. Wow. I remember my reasoning for leaving, being I found the endgame content was boring (and the fact they removed the Veteran rank system after completing the single player storyline). I felt the rank system gave a purpose to the endgame, and with it gone.. there was no purpose.
\nBut now with a supposed official expansion to the game, I’m curious to see what has happened since then. Infact, I’m excited to come back. I don’t think I’ve ever been excited to come back to a game since WoW (before the trainwreck that was WoD).
\nI’m pretty sure all of my chars will still be there, yet I don’t seem to remember who I had. I’m not sure if I retired my Dragonknight for a Sorcerer, or.. what characters I’ve made. It feels like it’s been ages.<\/p>\n

With this supposed expansion, I assume this means the single player storyline continues after the defeat of Molag Bal. Looking at the login screen, it’s clear the picture has been changed to look quite sinister. There’s lava coming out of what appears to be cooled lava. Perhaps, another “TAMRIEL IS DOOM-ED!!!” final boss that’s even stronger than Molag? Trying to remember the super spoilers, it is possible. Hopefully it’s not a pushover like he was. Granted, I still remember being quite timid doing the encounter as a melee character (feeling I wasn’t ready and stuff). Or was that my Sorcerer? Going over my old blog posts would reveal, though.
\nOh cool. Now I’m at 3% into downloading the game. Goodness, this is going to take awhile– possibly ’till tomorrow afternoon if I’m lucky, would I be able to check it out. Also I didn’t name the folder weirdly, so I shouldn’t have an issue with ‘granny2.dll missing’ as I did the first time I tried to run this game. At least….I pray not to. The fact I didn’t bother wiping out the old subfolders and files (hoping it would just overwrite them, or just not use them if they’re unused assets), might<\/em> mess it up. Just have to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
