  For sure, games have gotten bland and lame. But in an era of quirky games Morrowind was still extra quirky.

  Well there is still an NPC that proclaims Kirkbride's drug binge fueled [affectionately] lore. Besides, in Skyrim you eat souls of hitherto immortal beings in an act of metaphysical cannibalism, and, among other things, get to witness firsthand exactly what happens to those souls you trap to fuel your fancy sword of zapping. Meanwhile, in the background, Vivec might or might not have been kidnapped to be on the receiving end of that spear thing, and fascist elves are trying their hardest to undo the universe (it's not plot pertinent though), and also briefly did (or claimed to do) something to the moons (that are not moons, remember) that terrified an entire race into submission. The point is, the lore is still there. You just have to pay attention, because it's not always spelled outright.

  Why play modern games? There is an almost infinite backlog of experiences for you to indulge in from the late 90s/early 2000s alone. They're also great value; a couple months back I went to a local store and bought 100 or so "old" game CD/DVDs for less than $35, none scratched. For the price of one triple-A game, I'd probably have been able to get 250 at least.
