The GOTY edition of Morrowind was an impulse purchase back in 2003. Think it cost around £15. The blurb on the back of the box sold it to me with the "go where you want, do what you want" idea. Strangely enough, that's what has kept my interest in the series ever since.
I realised I was hooked when I jumped out of my seat the first time thunder struck - it was my first open world game and I totally didn't expect the weather to change...
