Out of all of The Elder Scrolls RPGs, the one I've racked up the most playtime in is Skyrim — largely thanks to hours and hours spent overhauling the game with custom mod setups or extensive modpacks. However, the one that truly owns my heart is Morrowind, Bethesda's third entry in the series that came out for Xbox and Windows PC in 2002.
Named after the bizarre, almost extra-terrestrial region of Tamriel it takes place in, Morrowind is beloved by many for its alien-esque atmosphere, extremely rich lore, and gameplay mechanics that promote plenty of buildcrafting experimentation. In many ways, I'd argue it's a far more interesting, far braver type of game than Oblivion and Skyrim, especially with its lack of hand-holding that ultimately makes it incredibly rewarding to learn, engage with, and progress through.
