I've been mostly playing Elder Scrolls games, but I've also been playing some Pokémon.

Of the Elder Scrolls games, I've mostly played Oblivion and Online, and I played a tiny bit of Morrowind.
I mostly play as an Argonian - I really like the ability to breath underwater, and the resistance to diseases and poisons is pretty helpful. Though the underwater breathing isn't as helpful in Online, since as far as I've seen, you can't dive underwater. (This also implies that there aren't underwater dungeons or dungeons with underwater sections, which saddens me. I love them.)

The Pokémon games I've played recently are Legends Arceus & Platinum. Of the two, I've been enjoying Legends Arceus far more - in Platinum I'm at a section where I need to XP grind, which means I mostly just battled a lot of Pokémon. Side effect of having a full party, I guess.
Anyway, in Legends Arceus I've been working on doing tasks for the Pokédex and getting my funds up. And passive shiny hunting, of course.

Anyway, what about you guys?

Oh hey, I love me some ESO, I've been on a break from it but I still got a ton to play through!! I started playing only last year and grabbed myself a bunch of DLCs at some point but I've not even finished the main story or alliance questlines yet, there's just so much there. Got only two max level characters right now. Argonian is fun in ESO imo, they get a swim speed boost instead of waterbreathing because yeah there's no underwater content. I like Khajiit the most because of their sneaky abilities but iirc I've got the most argonians and... also one wood elf? ESO is the only scrolls game I've played aside from a very tiny bit of Skyrim, I never did get into Skyrim despite its popularity but maybe I'll try again soon.

Guild Wars 2 has sucked me right back in after their most recent expansion, it keeps happening lmao, definitely my most played game currently. I don't play for a few months and then something interesting happens and suddenly I'm back to playing it again daily. GW2 is such a casual friendly MMO that I honestly don't see myself ever truly leaving it for any other MMO hehe. Their mounts system is my absolute favourite thing ever.

Other than that, I've been slowly working through Pokémon Violet, trying to not forget about Baldur's Gate 3, modding Starbound as always, and thinking of picking up Monster Hunter Rise again because I never finished it. Got a bit of a backlog there but I'm sure I'll get to everything eventually haha.

@Lorienee
I was going back to ESO after a really long time, so it was actually quite different to how it was when I first played it!
My original character is a Dark Elf, and if I remember correctly, I only did the Coldharbour part (as it used to be the first part you play) before heading straight to Solstheim. For my current one, the Argonian, I did the tutorial, and chose to start in the island off Skyrim.

I have Guild Scrolls 2! I've never played it, though. It takes up a lot of space (though likely less than ESO, good lord). I might install it when I uninstall ESO. I've wanted to play it for a while, and what you've said has made it sound even more appealing!

What was your starter in Violet? My Paldean starter was Sprigatito. Weed cat!
And I got Scarlet. I'm a softie for feathered dinos, so of course I was gonna pick Koraidon.
I've been avoiding ScVi content recently since I don't have the DLC and I don't want spoilers.

You make Starbound mods? Hell yeah! Are any of them available on Steam? I might check them out. I used to play a lot of Starbound, and it's one of the few games I didn't uninstall when I did the mass uninstallation to prepare for downloading ESO.

Thanks to responding to my thread, and I hope you have a great day!

Hey, it's great to hear about your gaming adventures in the Elder Scrolls and Pokémon worlds!
As for me, I've been deep into Counter Strike lately, especially with the [ad link removed by moderator] skins marketplace. It's amazing how customization and style have breathed new life into the game. Every match feels like a fresh experience, and I'm totally hooked.
It's cool that you enjoy playing as an Argonian in Elder Scrolls for that underwater advantage. And I can relate to your love for underwater sections in games; they can be so immersive. As for Pokémon, Legends Arceus sounds like a fantastic choice with its unique gameplay.

I love that this thread is mostly about Elder Scrolls lmao. It's the only game series other than Pokemon that I'm willing to buy a new console/PC in order to keep up with it, so that tells you my level of obsession :x

I'm the type who started with Skyrim and worked my way backward. I did play ESO too and I really enjoyed the Coldharbour plot there, especially since one of my favorite things about Elder Scrolls is the various daedric realms and just how different they look from the rest of the game. I love seeing how the devs imagine those realms, and Coldharbour was particularly fun to see since I had a bit of context from the Dawnguard DLC (Skyrim). They never actually show the realm in Skyrim, so it was exciting to see that and Molag Bal. Sadly I got a bit burnt out on ESO after completing that questline, but I wouldn't be surprised if I develop an itch for it again someday...since it's Elder Scrolls lol. Skyrim is still my true love though, and I'm patiently waiting for ES6. :0

Like Lorie, I'm also slowly wading through Pokemon Violet still (the base game). The beginning felt like such a slog that I stopped playing for months, but recently I picked it back up and I've been gaining some momentum and having fun with it. I will say that compared to PLA, Scarlet/Violet feels clunky, as if it uses a completely different engine (no clue if true). Dunno how they managed to make it feel so different and unpolished from a very similar game that literally came right before it. But other than that, I love hanging out and having picnics with my pokes <3

@Celestronach

I do wish I could have got into ESO earlier but also I heard that when it was launched it wasn't as well liked as it is now, iirc they had to do quite a few updates to make the game more enjoyable but hey, whatever they did, it worked because I've been having a lot of fun with most of the content :D I think originally, different alliance territories were only open to characters within the respecive alliance? I started off with a khajiit doing the aldmeri questline but branched off of that fairly soon because I wanted to explore and see all the stories hehe.

Guild Wars 2 space requirement is about 70gb I believe which is just a little over half of what ESO needs haha, still really huge but considerably smaller so that's nice. If you decide to get back into it I hope you have fun :D if you're missing any of the DLCs I believe they're on a huge discount right now, the black friday deals are excellent imo. Downside is that the most recent DLC isn't on sale because it's too new, oh well. I'm on the EU megaserver, most gw2 players I encounter online are on NA so I can't meet up with them in game oof. But if you're on EU and decide to play again and wanna meet, give me a shout c: no pressure if you don't though.

I picked Sprigatito too by the way, it's just too cute and an excellent starter choice, though once it evolved into Meowscarada I ended up replacing it with Lurantis (I'm a traitor I know). I really like Miraidon's design haha what a surprise, it's cool to find Koraidon fans though, I feel like Koraidon doesn't get enough love. And yeah I'm trying to avoid spoilers too, waiting for indigo disk to come out before I decide if the DLC is even worth it.

Alsooo I wish I could mod Starbound, nah I just browse the workshop for an hour picking up cool mods, the only mod I've made so far is just a song pack and it's not even on steam oof. I've wanted to make my own race for a while, it's just a huge commitment. Maybe I'll finally try next year?

I also always keep starbound installed by the way haha it's so small anyway so it hardly makes a difference and it's a fun quick game to jump into to mess around for a bit. Especially if I've just picked up 10 new mods.
