A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard (sopuli.xyz)

Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I've gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.

Love me some recommendations!

Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind lets you fly around, jump over whole cities, and kill most NPCs with one high powered spell. It's a very unique game, but if it clicks with you there's nothing quite like it. Vibrant modding scene too.

The base game is certainly playable, but if you want modern resolutions and some vanilla-friendly bug fixes OpenMW is an open source recreation of the engine, there's instructions on their website.

Morrowind was always my favorite Elder Scrolls game, but I'm probably biased since it was my first. The tech, while good for its time, was always the #1 thing holding it back for modern times. Hadn't heard about OpenMW, but now I'll have to check it out.

Check out Tamriel Rebuilt too! It's a mod to add the mainland that, while incomplete, already has 100s of quests. Good quality control too.
