My first game was Skyrim, then I played Oblivion and Morrowind. And then I came to the Wikia. I heard about Skyrim some time before the launch, some of my friends kept talking "FUS RO DAH" and I didn't understood what was that. Well, this part is a little embarrassing to me, in that time, I played... Minecraft. My friends kept talking that Minecraft was crap and that new game was a true game, not like "Minecrap". I defended the indie game, of course, and I said that Skyrim was too overestimated, so I decided to play Skyrim and prove to them that the game wasn't all what they had been saying. My PC was weak in that time, and I couldn't achieve even 30 fps, but in the short time that I played it, well, you already know how it is: the game was amazing and it gave me feelings that I had when I first played GTA: SA, in that moment, I saw that I discovered one of the best games I would ever play, but of course, I kept talking bad against Skyrim because I didn't liked to lost the reason (huehuehue).

I upgraded my PC, so I could play Skyrim at decent framerate this time. The emotions that I felt walking in Skyrim, in the Jerall Mountains, The Throat of the World, Nordic Ruins, The Marsh, Winterhold, Sea of Ghosts, Riften, etc. I can't describe with words.

So I played, an played. Of course I didn't know how play correctly, but I clothed myself with the first robes I saw, also chose High Elf as my char's race, I always preferred magic. Well, here is a summary of my three serious gameplays:

High Elf, Mage, Pyromancer. Game finished without using mage armor spell (yep), without using sprint (yep, sprint) and without wearing boots or gloves at any moment. Using only Firebolt and Healing. At level 11.

Of course, when I saw that my char was a shame, I made a new one, well, identical to the first. But this time was a more serious gameplay, I leveled up to level 50 if my memory doesn't fails, and finished also the College of Winterhold quests. In this time, I knew a lot more about Elder Scrolls.

But I perceived one thing: my second char was also a shame, I didn't use boots at all! I couldn't cast Incinerate more than six times.

So I did what I should do: created a new char. Identical to the second of course. This was my best char, I am sure that I played with him for over 1000 hours, made nearly all quests, Main Quest, College, City Quests, Daedric Quests, Dawnguard, Heartfire, Dragonborn. An honorable mention to Falskaar. With my char, I learned much more about lore, I had known the other games and the basic about Mundus (which I thought that was just a generic medieval world).

After that, I created other chars, I wanted to play as the 4 classes in game (that I consider): Mage, Warrior, Thief and Battlemage. After 1 year: mission completed.

But then, my eyes turned to a not very beautiful game called "TES IV: Oblivion". I knew Oblivion's story, but I never played it, so I bought. Well, it was not everything I expected. For someone who played Skyrim as a mage, and then do the same thing in Oblivion, well, it is a HUGE difference. But, personally, I found the Oblivion side quests much superior than Skyrim side quests. The plotline was also a little better.

I was thinking on do not play Oblivion anymore, but I changed my opinion, when, in the end, Akatosh appeared and banished Mehrunes Dagon back to Oblivion. That battle was simple astonishing, in the end I saw that playing Oblivion wasn't a error. I also played KotN and Shivering Isles. But by a very superficial gameplay, not making any side quest.

Only now I am playing Oblivion seriously, with a level 28 mage I didn't finished the Main Quest nor the Mages Guild. I am making a serious gameplay this time, making side quests, obtaining rare items, everything I didn't made in my other gameplay.

I knew that Oblivion wasn't the end, because there was an old game that everyone said it was the best, called "TES III: Morrowind". Well, I thought that those who said "Morrowind is the best" were just nostalgic players, and Morrowind was too old to be played. I was wrong. In both statements.

I bought Morrowind, at first, well, think about it: Cyrodiil was beautiful and colorful, then I wake up in Morrowind, near a miserable village called Seyda Neen, "dammit, why no one is talking? there is something wrong in audio settings? why can't I use magic? WHY I CAN'T STRIKE A RAT WITH MY DAGGER?". "Morrowind is crap, I will not play this".

After some days, I calmly entered the game again, I understood that it was old and it would'nt be friend with new players. So I fixed it installing some mods, nothing that changes the difficulty or cheat, just graphics (MGO).

I... liked. I could play it. I was playing it. It was good, well, very good, better than Oblivion, better than... Skyrim? So I played and played, I spent nights in the roads of Vvardenfell. Walking and learning about that strange place I was. The cities impressed me, the religious and political system of Morrowind was something new to me. I liked personally House Telvanni.

I hated not being able to regenerate magic, so I fixed it with some good not overpowered mod that brings Oblivion's magic regeneration to Morrowind.

Morrowind had something that lacked in Oblivion and Skyrim. I simply can't describe it. But I am sure that everyone who played it will understand. I finished Morrowind more than satisfied with the game, but the defeat of Dagoth Ur wasn't the end, I knew there was Tribunal and Bloodmoon, so I played both.

Tribunal, even if it adds just Mournhold, was a excelent expansion. Working with the goddess Almalexia against the mad god Sotha Sil (no spoilers hue) was a great experience, well, the final battle wasn't all I expected, but still unforgettable.

I walked in Solstheim, I walked inside the walls of Fort Frostmoth and walked in a snowy path to Skaal Village. But I didn't made far in this expansion, so I can't tell much about it.

I always liked write and share what I know, in one of my favorite site, motto is "from the users, by the users, for the users". My country doesn't have any "Elder Scrolls" site that interested me (Skyrim BR, Skyrim Fanclub, Skyrim Brazil, Skyrim Guide, Skyrim this Skyrim that etc etc). So I got to a certain Wiki that I already knew. I was accustomed to write great pages, in portuguese, but never english, it was a challenge for me that I accepted. And here I am.
