Just about to start Morrowind

Pighardia · 4 Jun 2011 at 18:58

I have just found my Morrowind discs and i am going to start it on my latop tonight. (not played it since it first came out) Looking forward to playing it again.

I have just started downloading Morrowind 2011, which looks great, but i wondered if anyone had any other mod recommendations? (i'm not sure which mods this actually includes)
For example, i don't know if i need to download a better sky mod or not, as the sky has been modded in the compilation.

Also, i can't find any UI mods. does anyone know of any, i have downloaded a few mods from PlanetElderScrolls, but there are so many, that it's easy to get lost.

Any recommendations would be welcome

Man this game was so awesome, used to use so many mods but can't for the life of me remember any names >_>

I will be starting this quite soon, Pighardia. I have never yet completed it, it's one of the few rpg'd I have really liked a lot, perhaps partly because it has a first person perspective. I remember a thread not that long ago on here about the Morrowind mods. I'll have a look for it.

I don't know if this will help at all but here you go :

I'm tempted to buy Morrowind. I loved Oblivion, so will I like this?

I reckon I'd install the 2011 mod.

I think you will like it given that you liked Oblivion. Once I finish what I'm currently playing I'll get in to modding this. It's about time I played it to completion.

I thought Morrowind 2011 was supposed to be a crap compilation done without permission?

It was a strange one but I think he took it down but he still gave credit where it was due but people still kicked up a fuss.

Yeah, I read something along those lines, it might be touched on in the thread I linked to. Since I wasn't going to try the mod at the time I can't be sure of what happened in the end. Wasn't it something to do with two mods being available, one of them being shunned by the community or the like?

Thanks Arc@css, that is the thread that gave me the idea to download Morrowind 2011, was trawling through the mod database yesterday getting pretty lost(there are thousands now, and still being updated, brilliant!). I thought, "i'll check OCUK, i bet they will put me right"

and came across that thread, which had loads of graphics mods compiled and thought it was just what i was looking for, especially as i wouldn't have to worry about compatanility issues.

That is what i have read(about the permission),but it is recommended by quite a few people. and it is linked to on the Morrowind Steam store page. I couldn't find many places to download it, but found it in the end.
It does look very good indeed, but as i have said,there are probably other mods which will improve it further.

I think i'm reading that the mod was very much praised, but the modding community kicked up a fuss, as it was done without permission. (fair enough i suppose, but he did acknowledge everyone, and it's not like they get paid for them)

Mod authors got super anal and tried threatening him legally, he just decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I think this was the prepacked compilation I used last time and it really does make the game so much nicer to play. Great game though, wasted too much of my youth on it, I've still never finished oblivion and I probably should (once im done replaying baldurs gate 2 for the nth time)

Think I'm gonna have to re-install...

Morrowind Overhaul is still under development, but the sound and graphics have already been released

arc@css · 5 Jun 2011 at 19:46

Bookmarked this thread so I guess I'll have a lot to read before I start modding, like which one to use.

Just downloading that. Gonna give up on Morrowind 2011, as there were quite a few bugs. Looks like compiling loads of seperate mods is the best thing to do.

Morroblivion is massive, but i think i will play it when it has been perfected.

Thanks a lot treebiter

The thing that i am wondering is whether any of the graphics mods(grass mod etc) are already covered in the Graphics overhaul? I'll have a proper ead of the documentaion as there should be a thourough list of changes.

Just started looking through and downlaoding some mods. Looking through the Hall Of Fame on the PES website, downloaded about 20 and then noticed that they were sorted alphabetically and i was still on A :eek:

arc@css · 5 Jun 2011 at 21:32

The number of mods is insane, while although on one hand a great thing it does leave me wondering about whether I am missing an important one out, reminds me a little of New Vegas. Much reading to do later on.

Pighardia · 5 Jun 2011 at 21:48

OMFG!!!!!

I have just installed the Morrowind sound and graphics overhaul and it looks stunning. If anyone has ever been put off playing this game because of the graphics, don't be because with this mod it easily looks as good as Oblivion (unmodded).

Took a while to install, but there is a superb walkthrough which takes you through step-by step for retail and steam versions.

I honestly can't believe how good it now looks. Draw distance is excellent, and the water is just amazing.

Cliste · 5 Jun 2011 at 21:59

Just looking at a youtube video of the overhaul now. Looks impressive.

Hopefully I can pick this up for a fiver.
