Come on, I can't be the only one!

Anyone else here play this? It literally kicked off my CRPG obsession. I was never a huge fan of the full Ultima series, but this one scratched a particular itch.

The clones that came in the 80s too, played them all. Questron, Legacy of the Ancients, Bards Tale.

Not my all-time favourite (that award goes to Pool of Radiance), but when it came out in 1981 (right around my birthday) it just pulled me in completely.

It's also incredible when I look at Ultima and then Baldurs Gate III. We've come a long way.

I played Ultima back in the 1990s, but I was a bit too young to get anything out of it, other than "cool, its a game, things happen when I press buttons"

I've been meaning to try them out now that I'm grown up... I mean, aged... but Morrowind keeps distracting me

Well, it is.

Without Morrowind, no Oblivion, without Oblivion, no Skyrim. Without those three, the fantasy genre would have been completely different. I'd go as far and say without Morrowind, no WoW. Without WoW, the online gaming would be completely different.
