Riding the high of a new game purchase, my childhood gang of misfit gamers eagerly followed me home to watch me install it. It wasn’t until that iconic swirling shot of the Imperial City, accompanied by the quasi-piratical main theme courtesy of acclaimed composer Jeremy Soule, that I cast about for any excuse to get them to leave. This was an experience I wanted to keep all to myself.
