A quote I read somewhere.
"Oblivion is where I play. Morrowind is where I live"
oz
Morrowind fed my desire to be a part of something more. It let me climb high above the crowd, it gave me the chance to swim in the sea and dive for pearls of wisdom as well. It let me find out more about the club or house membership expectations I could not get involved in in my own life. I built a house mod and made it underground so it was like a place that had been buried in a planetary catastrophe and I had to discover it like an archaeologist. I lost the mod, the computer I built it on, and it humbled me some. I still have the memories.
I found books linking to stories I had read, some I had begun to get interested in, and some that I had never heard of and they had just enough of the story to give me a reason to look up the full copy. It fed me life a little bit at a time so I knew what I might have missed if I had, had the opporutnity to join with a house, organization, or made it in the military in life.
"It's where I live. I'm just playing here."
