Obviously we are all ready for the game to drop yesterday, but at what point in time did you specifically say "yeah, I'm ready to see what's next"?
I have put in close to 8k hours into Skyrim and around 3k into Oblivion over the last 20 years. Around 2016, I had numerous playthroughs in Skyrim and had 100% it twice (never again). At this point, I knew pretty much where everything was and the outcome of every quest. That is when I began getting excited for the next title. I'm hoping that TESVI does a great job at having more outcomes/endings to quests to help with replayability. Skyrim/Oblivion (original) are still my most played games to this day when I have the time which is rare because I'm now a full blown adult with a mortgage, marriage, and finance job.
When was your "moment" when you were ready/excited for the next title and what got you to that point? Also, if this is supposed to be the "Ultimate Fantasy Simulator" do you think that it will captivate you as much as any of the previous titles? What would TESVI have to look like/contain to do that for you?
