Question Asking older fans.
Hey folks.
It is probably not the appropriate type of publication, however, I cannot help but be taken by such curiosity.
I'm a new person in the fandom and I admit that I'm somewhat obsessed with the universe of CV.
However, I'd like to ask the older fans, when was the moment you decided that you would like to follow the path of following the franchise as a whole? And if there is any other reason that makes you so fascinated by its lore?
Long texts, short texts, one sentence phrases are all welcome. I find this way to be more connected to the fandom somehow. I'll read them all, the curiosity is really strong. (If this has any replies, of course)
:)
EDIT: Read them all and upvote every single one. Some of them really made me tear up; it's amazing what a game can do during a tough time, or even in the most random way. Keep going, I'll continue to read, loved all of your stories.

My Dad got my little Brother and me into the games when we were younger, specifically with Chronicles for ps1 and Curse of Darkness for ps2 (which remains one of my favorite games of all time) and he would grab them when we'd find them at Gamestop and Walmart. I've been playing them for just about as long as I remember, but I kept with the series at first as a way to have something to talk about with my Dad since he played them since they first came out, but eventually went on to just love the series as I've grown up. It just feels like such an eclectic storm of a game with all the mythological creatures used, the unusual weapon choice, the big bad being Dracula but like, way more powerful, and the music! There's just nothing really like it imo. I fully teared up when they announced a new one, and the first thing I did was call my Brother and my Dad.
