Morrowind 20-year anniversary book
I loved Morrowind, but I do still lament the loss of the 'Elite as fantasy' feel for the first two Elder Scrolls games. As much as they were sparsely populated and low on story, those felt more like truly Open World games to me (I was happy running errands and clothes shopping for the most part). Morrowind was a bit of a shock to the system when I first played it. It was very well done, but many orders of magnitude smaller than Arena and Daggerfall. I can't really make a strong case that it wasn't a better game (and I enjoyed Skyrim too), but I hope we're not far off returning to procedural worlds with a new eye, especially now AI is on the verge of being a core part of asset workflows.
