I think I did that a few times in ZD when I first played. You likening it to Skyrim for that makes sense. The classic “if I stand on this rock, the giant can’t launch me into space”

Worked at a company where emails were first initial then last name. So there was a guy named Shawn Lutz so his email was SLutz@email.com

It seemed I was the only one really aware of that since he almost never sent emails

I would add Wreckfest to that list if you want a game with demolition derby and banger racing. It feels like the spiritual successor to Test Drive Eve of Destruction
