I admit I’m struggling with Morrowind, it definitely doesn’t hold your hand like later open world RPGs. It’s quite daunting actually, there’s so much stuff. Even just the spell system is making my head explode. And hilarious pterodactyl things appearing in the sky and attacking me everywhere, hilarious. I’m having a ball, though I can tell it’s going to take me many months to get through it.
Those Black Isle games, almost like an interactive novel except with complex gameplay and a lot of interactivity/branching paths. Of all the games I’ve played in my life, I think they give me the most nostalgia tingles of them all. When I think of Candlekeep I get goosebumps. Oozing with atmosphere. I remember enjoying Torment but when I finally beat it I got a really bad ending, lol, the narrator was like “this character, that character and all these characters died because of you. and then soon after the apocalypse occurred because you failed to complete your central objective.” I’ve been meaning to go back and redeem myself for 15 years.
I won’t be racist! 
You might remember from my Pillars review how much I love cats; the Khajit are like my kin. I usually play Argonian/Khajit, they’re cool. In Skyrim I had a gay Argonian wedding! (I’m straight btw, but I felt it was necessary).
Have you ever played Redguard? It’s a peculiar Elder Scrolls games but it’s really good, a weird swashbuckling pirate adventure. I wish someone would fix it so it’s optimised for modern systems, I’m itching to replay it.
