The Journals of Absynth
15 years ago
General
I started a game journal for Morrowind. I plan to play all the way through and write about my character's journey.
I know, not a terribly new idea. I'm sure a million other people have done the same thing, but I want to do it in anticipation of Skyrim, coming out later this year if everything stays on schedule.
I'm using the Morrowind 2011 module compilation and nothing else except maybe Tamriel Rebebuilt for once I do the Tribunal expansion. I don't want to change the core content too much, but I do want to see the game in all its glory, and what it might have looked like if it were done with the technology used on Oblivion.
Once the game, and the journal, are over, I'll continue on to Oblivion. Though the official lore states that the Nerevarine disappeared not long after the events of the main quest, I'm supposing, given the character's supposed gained immortality from the blight disease (and potential long life in general if you played one of the Mer), and the fact that you're on par with the Tribunal by the end if you play your cards right, that your character lives on well beyond the events of the game yet to happen, but chooses to fade from public view.
So, in Oblivion, I will be playing a character that is a child of my Morrowind character, who ironically ends up in the same prison that his mother started out in (My Morrowind character is a female Dunmer), though we never see it in ESIII.
I've played both games extensively, but in their console formats. I've spent about 700 hours on Morrowind and 400 in Oblivion, and I look forward to this project, to re-live those experiences from a new light on my PC.
I've already got a few journal entries written up, which is what the whole story is going to have its perspective from, but I want to get a good queue going before I start in in this project so that I can update consistently, unlike my other projects.
So, keep an eye out...

I guess they can be related in a different way, like the Champion of Cyrodil having been a compatriot of the Nerevarine for the past couple of years in Vardenfel before coming back to Cyrodil and being arrested for no (apparent) good reason.
I'll work that out by the time that story starts
