Just purchased Morrowind and Oblivion (plus all DLC) for a total of $15 on Steam.
Morrowind graphics are hard to deal with but it was a solid and expansive game. Mods I used in the past are out there.
Graphics on Oblivion are miles ahead. Also plenty of mods on NexusMods. I don't remember how I found mods in the old days (for both games) but I look forward to using them. I still have a game guide to it in a drawer somewhere. I had this for Xbox 360 so haven't played since having that second red rings of death and washing my hands of consoles.
Looking forward to getting into these games.

My problems with Morrowind were mainly the user interface (let's just say UIs came a looooong way since then...) and the dice roll combat for a first person (de facto) game. I just can't stand it. As for graphics, the water in Morrowind is way better than the one you get in Skyrim, personally. For the rest, there's a mod pack, is fairly well known. An executable that checks your game and then it allows you to install like 3 dozen different mods retexturing pretty much everything, it brings the game to more "nowadays standards" . Then you have other things like the way the world is crafted, dungeons, ect. The quality back then is not what you have today, a bunch of rocks on a square corridor, done, that's your dungeon. It can be a bit hard to endure after playing newer games, that's another issue I take with such older games, can't help it. Personally, I'm just waiting for Skywind, although that's at least 2 more years away.

Another problem new players might have with Morrowind is that it takes its time to get good. Newer games try to impress you in the first half an hour or so, because many player won't even continue playing if the game doesn't get them hooked right away and just play another one on the ever-growing backlog. For example, a thing that really annoyed me about Morrowind at first is that NPCs like to tell you what they think of you, even if you don't interact with them, and at the beginning it's nothing nice ("We are watching you, scum!" being the most prominent). So you get frequently insulted, the combat is shit, and that cute worm over there manages to kill you (I may or may not have been repeatedly killed by kwama foragers... ). But if continue to play despite all of this, raise your skills, gain reputation the way the game feels changes a lot. It really gives some sense of accomplishment that I often miss in newer games when you get to play the hero from the beginning. Unfortunatey the combat remains a weak point, though it gets a little bit better with higher skills, it really isn't the thing that makes Morrowind worth playing. From personal experience, if you want to play a mage, get a mod that changes magicka regeneration to over time, not per rest. An unpleasant relic from DnD rules, I think. When I started playing I think I mostly slept the first month or so. Also, the modded game has the most beautiful sunsets (and distant view), better than Skyrim's imho:

I had hoped 76 was more of a side project and the main team was always on starfield and it’s about ready for launch. Sigh it’s probably 2021 at this rate. I’m too old for this shit. On the plus them putting that lady into vi is sweet.

On the plus them putting that lady into vi is sweet. F76 feels like a backwards experiment, but alas they have to keep that thing rolling to get their cash back plus earnings or whatever projections they had for it. Since the awful launch of that game and how it probably will take like a whole year until people can easily say "this game is perhaps worth playing now" after they add enough content, fix most of its problems, etc. Point is, they can't toss another project in front of it because it will take potential customers away. Shie, I'm sure people are more than ready to leave the game for something else, they would be hurting themselves. Starfield perhaps will be shown in 2020, with a maybe release of 2021. Big maybe. Yeah about that woman, that's interesting. And apparently she plays modded Skyrim too? holy shit, with all the hassle modding is, that's no small thing. I hope I'm on such a good state of health and sanity at that age.

That's the video they uploaded about the 25 years of TES. Now, for the most part it's about the company devs and nothing about what's to come. However there're some pieces of info here and there. The woman they're immortalizing using their new tech shows some pretty big steps forward. Facial scans and what not, doubt Bethesda ever used that technology before. And when they talk about the rest, I think all combined what they are actually building, believe it or not, is a new Engine. Either that or some pretty hefty up to date modules to ducktape to their Creation Engine (here's hoping for the former).
Technically speaking, and looking at Bethesda, it's impressive to say the least. They've never been a powerhouse in terms of graphical fidelity, not that is a must in the type of games they create, but it's nice to have.
But thinking in how long it's gonna be until we actually play the game/s... it's a bit hearth breaking, and sad if you think that some people like this woman could not be around anymore to enjoy them. I've said it in the past and I say it again, Bethesda needs to grow as a company, start to hire people, they don't have enough manpower for all the projects they are pushing. 8 to 10 years between franchises is ludicrous.

If only BioWare have a modding community.... Given that BioWare didn't provide modding tools of any kind since DA:O, they actually have a rather large modding community. Just look what people have made for the Mass Effect and later Dragon Age games. Given that even the tools to mod BW's versions of Unreal and later Frostbite are programmed by the community, it is pretty impressive what has been done.
As for Skyblivion: It looks really impressive. I loved Oblivion and would love to try this out. There was a 1 hour walking and FAQ vid from the lead guy of the modding team, where he shows off most of the world they created so far. Really cool stuff but it also became apparent that there is still a LOT of work to be done. I wouldn't expect this mod in the next couple of years. Still recommend at least clicking through this vid and looking at how they made the different regions of Cyrodyl.

When TESVI is out, people can have their choice of exploring the various game/expansion-sized mods of TESV, or trying the new one. Bethesda would be smart if they recognized that TESVI isn't necessarily a mega seller (a big one, but not necessarily mega) if they step on too many toes for the sake of capital control.

I've been playing a lot of this lately. Makes me think about ESO, which I've never played. Don't recall especially great reviews about it. I'm curious if it touches on the war with the Thalmor. That could really make it worthwhile. It's a gap between Oblivion and Skyrim that I'd love to see filled.
