Heh, I am trying to learn to cook for myself. It's not the difficulty that is a problem, though - it's usually me being lazy :P

Mmm, yes, forced patching is one of the annoying things about MMO's - especially when large chunks of old content disappear for good (WoW pulled this off with its third expansion, which revamped the whole original world). People who have played it before could miss some of the old stuff, whiel those that have joined later will have missed a whole part of the experience with no chance to see it on their own (save for private servers).

Static and random both have their advantages and disadvantages - a randomized environment stays fresh and has greater replay value, while a fixed world can have unique stuff to see (including hidden/secret areas). I have experience with both systems and I can enjoy both.

You sure those assassins aren't the local postal service, trying to deliver a cryptic letter to advance the plot? Oh wait, this isn't Daggerfall... The only thing about about Morrowind expansions is that one adds a separated (self-contained) area, while the other adds new terrain to the main world (an island).

I guess Skyrim tried to get more modern, which is inevitably divisive - some players like the changes, others hate them. Usually, it's the old dogs that dislike the changes, which is understandable. Still, Skyrim is supposed to have a world to explore, so I'd definitely take a look at it some day...

I've heard lots of fans say Morrowind is the best one in the series, though it surely has its problems too. KOTOR is very static too, though this didn't really bother me. Hey, did I mention I made a little progress in KOTOR too? I decided to start over with a fresh new character, this time being a lot more thorough, trying to get every possible side quest. I finished one more planet than before, and advanced to the next one. Now let's see how long it will take me to go back and advance further...

It's good to hear reputation is more meaningful in these games. In WoW, it mostly affects vendor prices and the availability of a few select quests. Grinding reputations with a lot of factions seems utterly pointless, unless you want to get an achievement. Or a tabard.

Heh, I'm sure you are the only one who ever showed running through a dark snowy wasteland while pressing Esc every few seconds, in order to avoid being poisoned. Too bad there is no Guiness record for this. You would have earn it at once.

Hmmm, maybe some extra tool was needed for those skins... did the author include instructions with his thing?

Whoa, really? It sucks when your own family backstabs you like this. I could expect this from distant grand-uncles and the like (in fact, we've had stuff like this happen many years ago - a squabble over the apartment of my paternal great-grandmother), but never from my own grandmas. It's the sort of thing that warrants never being spoken to ever again...

Congratulations and best of luck in this new stage of your life. Moving to an immensely better place is definitely a great feeling, as I can testify myself. The bad memories of all the stuff you've had to endure before will eventually fade away, worry not.
