So, does the need to explore count? Before Skyrim, it'd been a really long time since I played a game that really made me want to just pick a random direction and start walking in it, and see what I could find, and was big enough that I wouldn't hit the edge of the map in three minutes. And even better, once you've cleared out the main game there's plenty of good-sized mods to be installed that let you do the exact same thing (though sometimes they're not put together terribly well).
Also I don't know if "cringe" is an emotion, as in "for god's sake, why is there a centipede in my sink . . . again?" but that was pretty much every time Hermaeus Mora showed up for me.
That is definatly an emotion
