MODERATORS
Fam you have to play Morrowind. OpenMW for an easy startup cost and still a lot of good modding options, base engine if you want to go hog wild with modding to get it to work well on modern machines. The game is so worth it and truly feels like an alien fantasy world not just medieval fantasy earth. I'm one of the Morrowind hardcore fan girls so if you do pick it up and have any questions feel free to ask me, or if there are aspects of it that frustrate you I can link you to mods or potentially make you one to help get around the frustrations
Is Morrowind the one where you get quests by following directions on a note, or am I thinking of a different RPG?
I have severe ADHD; I need a waypoint marker or I can't play the game. If I have to follow instructions on a piece of paper, I'll just get lost, frustrated, and never find the place. I can't remember names of locations, and I forget something I read or heard literally seconds after reading/hearing it. It makes oldschool RPGs—and life in general—much harder than it needs to be.
Yeah that's the one, I'm right there with you, I probably put in several hundred hours as a kid, but never bothered to read past the tutorial, so I never made it far in the story. I have to imagine there are some good mods to help folks like us
Out of curiosity, what part do you consider the tutorial? The how to play part is only a few minutes at the beginning then it kinda just drops you in the world with a 'good luck fucko' and pat on the back. It took me years before I ever got around to the main story and that was mostly an afterthought for me at the time.
Exactly my experience, hahaha, yup, that's all I was thinking of
If it helps, there is an Interactive map
