My golden age was between 2003 and 2005. Playing Morrowind for the first time literally changed my life. Most serious games before that to me were Resident Evil, Chrono Cross, Age of Mythology and Warcraft III. So Morrowind brought in whole new dimension into my gaming experience. I experienced something similiar when I started Resdient Evil 2 in 1998 on my PS, after the SNES console. It's the reality shift. But nothing ever came even close to the Morrowind experience. Neither Oblivion nor Skyrim had that impact on me.

I was at the university back then and had lots of free time living on my own. Friend borrowed me Morrowind after I read about it in the local gamer magazine. That first night after I palyed, I had to go out and take a night walk. That's the impact game had on me. That night I looked above and wished our Moon is big and red like Masser and tried to calculate in my head distance between Pelagiad and Balmora. Even the OST played in my head.

But Vivec and his teachings took special interest of mine. Something felt very real about it and I researched his semons on my own coming to conclusion that his path represents basicaly path of antinomian tantric apotheosis. I wanted to learn about Lorkhan, Daedra and cosmology so soon as I had chance to use internet I found Imperial Library. Spent there countless sleeples nights reading the lore. It was before forums were established, before I knew who was Kirkbride, before all this neo-morrowind pseudo intellectual lore jerking we witness today.

13 years later and I still play Morrowind with same joy like that first night. I have personal notes on my roleplay characters and their biographies. I even created my own world that could be part of TES lore and currently I'm writing it's setting and mythohistory. But I'll probably keep it separate and private, since my english is not that good and I'm never satisfied with my work.

Morrowind is life, Morrowind is love.
