> That’s because the first two games were procedurally-generated worlds, they each involved a core quest and a bunch of random side quests as fillers (which were extremely repetitive). Morrowind was the first game to have everything fleshed out and planned rather than most of the content being a randomly-generated “go to this cave and kill 10 bats and come back” quest over and over again.

Oh, I remember. I was there!

> [SUB]Let’s try this again, shall we? Stupid slow board lost my last attempt.[/SUB] I’ve been looking forward to this game for over a year now. I love the previous games- despite their bugginess, they’re the best example of a open-ended game I can think of. So… to keep me from gnawing off a limb in my attempt to get out of here and go to the mall, has anyone gotten it? Whatcha think?
