User blog comment:Deads26/When was the first time?/@comment-5469467-20141202000245

1. When Skyrim was released and promptly received with large amounts of praise. I was vaguely aware of Oblivion at the time, but not of the series as a whole.

2. I bought a copy of Skyrim in the first week or two of 2012. I also bought Oblivion and Morrowind later that year.

3. It sounded like a vast, rich fantasy world just waiting to be explored. That feeling is more or less gone now, having played the game for more than 700 hours. But it was nearly euphoric learning more and more about the province and greater setting, being a newcomer. I had a lot of fun with it, and still do on occassion. Similar case with the other games, although Oblivion never quite hit the same heights.
