Once the initial nostalgia wore off, it kinda felt like a punch in the dick, didn’t it? Remember when Skyrim added the DLC that promised to take us to Solstheim, that island situated north of Vvardenfell, where Imperial, Nord, and Dunmer all “shared” the land with werewolves in the Bloodmoon expansion to Morrowind?
We can never get back what we actually want. We’ve all want a grand Return to Morrowind. It’s Morrowind that we recognize as the True Experience. And while Skyrim may have been ported to everything imaginable, and will likely continue to be ported well into the future, it’s Morrowind that we clamor for.
That’s a long time for a game to hold onto the popular imagination. On May 23 Skyrim became as old as The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was when Skyrim was released.
