A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Yeah I really like how MW starts. Right after you leave the census office you’re told “you’re on your own now. Good luck” and it really does feel like that for a bit. You meet Caius and he gives you some cash and tells you to get a job basically. Join some guilds, level up, then maybe I’ll have work for you. I just love how casual and mostly realistic it feels. Then even when things get going it still feels like you’re some random person just trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s pretty cool.

Have you played Tainted Grail? The game play is a lot like Morrowind. There's even a prison escape sequence. It's has enough new systems to be interesting.

(Edit. There is no prison escape in MW, but it's a series staple)

I haven’t, but I’ll add it to my list to check out. I want to spend a lot more time in MW before considering another game, and I don’t get much time to play these days, but I’ll definitely consider that one in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.
