A few years back, while shopping around for a new game at an EB in the mall, I found a game with a cool looking cover called Morrowind: GotY Edition (At the time, the GotY thing was lost on me, as was what an expansion pack was) for my XBox. I got it and played it for hours, but looking back I was playing Morrowind, NOT the third game in the Elder Scrolls series. Later, after a friend convinced me to get a Steam account for a free copy of Portal, Oblivion and Morrowind GotY editions came on sale for an XMas deal, and having enjoyed Morrowind so much and hearing good things about Oblivion, I bought the pack of them and have logged about 125 hours into Oblivion. But to say when I got into THE ELDER SCROLLS specifically would actually be with Skyrim, the game that I think has turned me from a kid who plays games in his spare time to more of a true gamer, and the first TES game that I'm viewing as a TES game instead of some stand alone RPG.
