simply the best, slowest most boring immersive rpg of the xbox era. what it lacks in graphics or playability it more than makes up for in dialog--best in the series by the way--and vibes. oblivion and skyrim never came close to being as idiosyncratic and inventive. sometimes i think about walking around in some low res giant mushroom covered landscape to fall asleep. and it works. this is the return of the jedi of elder scrolls games, and by that I mean the one with the coolest creature designs. i mean, who thought of silt striders? i love them. i love the sound they make and i love walking up a skinny ramp to ride one. and then, like, you don't even get to see it move. and you don't care.

frauds call it dated but it's goated people just forgot how to read in 2024

This game on the Xbox was literally my life for an entire year straight. I remember my mom buying it for me at Best Buy, taking it home, unfolding the huge paper map, and just being completely blown away by how much game there was.
