It's a feeling I haven't experienced since my starting days in The Elder Scrolls Online. The days in which me and my friends spent hours hiding in Greater Faydark, relying on foraging to keep our hungry bellies full. The days in which nightfall meant certain death. It's a feeling i experienced when i left Freeport for the first time, determined to make the journey to Queynos on foot. My friend, standing at the gates of Freeport, unsure if he should follow. The terror and excitement of the unknown called to me.
The same feeling happened again, in the earliest adventuring days in another world known as Azeroth. As a young hunter i set out to tame a wolf that I would keep by my side forever, no matter what. We were the dearest of friends. We witnessed the treants protecting the city and the nearby villages.
And it happened last night, as I helped a young Khajit free himself from the twisted bonds of a father addicted to skooma and money. I then turned north to find a queen i have sworn my allegience to only to be surrounded by the restless undead.
I felt something last night that I had not felt in years... An actual sense of wonder. for the first time in years i stopped caring about levels, points, numbers, chores... I was just exploring the game and wondering what came next rather than what I had to do to fill some bar.
Well done Developers... well done. How do you think about it ?
