Morrowind 2011

RossG · 7 Jan 2011 at 09:10

Installed it all according to the setup guide but it crashes in the building just after getting off the boat . Might just play it through unmodded now, seeing how this will be my first playthrough anyway

I got it working yesterday. The world looks good but the characters still look **** and lol @ 24fps on a 5850.

I still have the megaupload link for it in my history:

But the instructions are gone now, so I wont know how to install it.

It's still on google's cache.

I'll upload the instructions when I get home from work (5-6pm). I popped them in to a notepad file as I had a feeling this would happen.

As did I . . . here is the megaupload file containing the HTML file with the instructions in:

Well, hopefully my copy will be here any day now(might even be today). I got the Goty Edition brand new for £5.49 online. Bargain. I downloaded the mods as soon as I saw this thread the other day so I have everything ready for when my game arrives! Can't wait.

I too agree with others who say modern rpgs have got too complex. For that reason I never got into Wow. What I liked about Oblivion is that although the options are very deep under the surface, its very simple to get into, levelling is a reward and not a nessescity, and the game is pretty much as complex as you wish it to be. Coupled with the real time combat and you have a game that just about anyone can enjoy without being daunted or overwhealmed but the more in depth options are still there for those that wish to use them. I hope Morrowind is similar, I'm sure it will be.

Dammit, double post!

Oblivion is very much an inferior product to Morrowind and its expansions in terms of content. It's a frustrating game to get in to, but I also found it to be one of the most rewarding I've ever played. The world feels so much more alive in Morrowind and the continent of Vvardenfell is in my opinion far superior to Oblivion's Tamriel, mainly due to its diversity in landscape.

Combat can be difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. Just don't expect to be able to smash everything in sight as you generally could do in Oblivion. One bit of advice, watch the skies.

Just download a less-agressive wildlife mod (or if you hate them that much, Cliff-Racer Extinction).

Emlyn_Dewar · 7 Jan 2011 at 12:41

Grabbing this just now, and the instructions.
Wont have time to try it out for a good while yet but you know what the Elder Scrolls mod community are like... They'll be wiping this off the face of the earth soon.

Morrowind > Oblivion

They'll have a hard job given its up on several different torrent sites, afaik instructions are included in some of the torrents too.

To be fair we're looking at a 2002 game here. I don't think that without serious work and serious time modders would be able to produce a complete character overhaul in Morrowind. Look at Oblivion, even several years of modding later the faces look absolute tosh, smudged in some places. Static objects and textures are much easier to work with and thus the overall quality of the world can be improved somewhat easily, whereas characters and monsters will only be improved through texture packs and additions to the characters (such as hair, armour mods etc).

I'm a reply monster.

Wow that looks impressive. I wanted to play Morrowind because apparently it has one of the biggest maps ever in a game but the graphics looked dated in screenshots compared to Oblivion so i never did. But this looks good. I'll download it and try it tonight

I used a less aggression mod and just used a bow to aggro them when I wanted the XP

When you're a higher level, it's just annoying when they keep attacking.

Can i use other texture mods with morrowing2011 do you think ?

Like better Bodies.

Yes, just install that last. One of the main issues with Morrowind 2011 is that if the packs are installed in the wrong order, you'll end up with some things that don't look "right" due to files being copied and pasted over each other.

Well, I'm really pleased as Morrowind turned up in the post this morning. Its all installed along with Bloodmoon and Tribunal Expansion packs. When I get a moment I'll go through the mod instructions and install the updates. Thanks for your advice about the skies mate, I will keep a watchful eye out!

At this rate we'll have to revive the Morrowind thread or start a new one

. I always find my self fascinated to hear about other people playing the same game as me, just to see what they did differently.
