Finished Morrowind

Last night I finished the main plot in Morrowind. In all, the game was well worth it for entertainment value; its biggest issue was stability, but when it crashed, it would crash cleanly, and restoring from your last quicksave was never an issue. The UI had minor issues too, but I've dealt with far worse. I thought it was very playable, and if you like fantasy RPGs and don't object to first-person interfaces, you'll probably enjoy it.

...so now I need a new distraction. I could put things I already have (MoO3, MSTS) on my laptop and play those. Or actually come up with a hobby that doesn't involve computers. Shocking, that concept. :-)
