That is awesome! Looking forward to the reviews I hope this game delivers everything promised!
If Todd Howard's hyping of Oblivion, Fallout3, Fallout4, and Skyrim have taught me anything - the game will come nowhere to delivering anything promised - will be massively buggy - and I'll easily sink 100s of hours into the game not caring in the least bit and having a blast the entire time. Purchasing it again and again on every platform as the years pass. Though with gamepass I suppose I don't have to worry about purchasing it anymore.
While Morrowind was my entry into the series in 2002/2003 - I had never heard of it until my head chef at the time told me I needed to purchase it. His hype delivered. But I have no clue what the hype of Morrowind pre-release was like or what was promised vs delivered. But I imagine it was quite similar.
Only thing I remember pre Morrowind was advertising on graphics cards. My friends only knew about the game because I found the strategy guide at work (electronics boutique) before it came out and I wouldn't stop talking about it.
I don't think Todd Howard had his leather jacket at the time, so he wasn't all over the place with promises.
Honestly I haven't been following the development or marketing for this game, but I like Todd's games so I know I'll end up buying it.
Without actually remembering anything too well, I do believe marketing around Morrowind was mostly graphics related. It was Beth' switching to full on 3D and Morrowind was pretty advanced in that regard.
I mean, the screenshots in the magazins sold themselves to anyone with the mind for fantasy. Hell, it's still the most beautiful and alien world to come out of Bethesda to date.
For the love of god I hope you haven't pre-ordered. A fricken pox on the gaming industry.
