I’m curious- stopping playing when you did- did you do none of the Native American Indian missions?

Did you get to Guam?

What a great topic! My interest in history is pretty much entirely due to the video games I played when younger - Assassins Creed (all the Ezio games, 3 and IV), Red Dead Redemption 1 and even Skyrim (okay it's fantasy, but its also set in the middle ages!) They peaked my interest in the subject, which eventually led to me studying it at university - who says video games are bad for one's academics?

You raise some great points. The creative energy that goes into making a video game is unrivaled - it involves voice actors, storytelling, graphic design and so much more, on top of all that the game needs to be enjoyable, fun, immersive etc.
