You have an in-crowd kind of aura about you, in a good way. Like, just looking at your username and avatar I might assume you had the taste stamp of approval without knowing anything else.
Anyways, Hatebreeder was decent. I think I might actually like the later songs, e.g. Blooddrunk period more, but it was still an alright about. Follow the Reaper seemed a little better from a hook-writing standpoint but probably had lower lows as well.

I don't know how my username and avatar relate to the in-crowd but then again, I don't know what an archetypal in-crowd member looks like to you.

You just have a good user aesthetic. You could be the dining room table and I'd set my complete collection of Tales of Medusa LPs along your spine, glowing as my neighbors compliment me over a bottle of scotch.

I think you'd be more in-crowd if your username was Dagoth Ur and your location was Vvardenfell, because Morrowind is more in-crowd than Oblivion/Skyrim.

Didn't realize that's what it was in reference to. Elder Scrolls is the Avenged Sevenfold of Western RPGs tbh. People with good taste reference Lands of Lore in their profile.

This comparison will not help your case where HamburgerBoy is concerned.
Anyway I really like Skyrim. The combat is definitely shitty (it's just very superficial and lacking in depth. The attacks from weapons don't feel very visceral or like they connect half the time), but everything else about it is pretty great.
I definitely need to spend more time with Morrowind, though.

I'm aware HBB doesn't like Summoning but I assume he'll recognize it's a far cry from A7X.

I'm half-shitposting tbh. I've only played Arena, Daggerfall, and Skyrim to any extent, and didn't beat any of them. No way anything related to that series qualifies as in-crowd though, Morrowind was already a big breakthrough for them and they've expanded their normie audience with every successive game. The level-scaling bullshit is what really puts me off, but I'm not a fan of the open-world, a-hundred-identical-dungeons-to-explore style in general.

Morrowind was a success because it was a milestone in the open-world RPG genre, but it's extremely normie-unfriendly from a modern perspective. I don't think something being popular in the past disqualifies it from being an in-crowd darling in the present, but whatever, you're the one who insists on using this bullshit term anyway.

In other words, you do the exact same thing over and over for years?

The entire ES franchise excepting ES: Online has munificent virtues, and ranges from good to masterpiece.

I tried Elder Scrolls Online while it was in Beta, and yeah it was fucking awful.
For my video game in-crowd you have to consider Dark Souls to be pretty much the best game of the past 10 years.

Dark Souls? Best game of the past ten years? In what perverse, Hideo Kojima wet dream world?

It's just a reality I'm afraid. It captured nearly everything I'm looking for in a video game and caught me by surprise.
