if there is more to it other then this random ai is my wife who stays in my house all day then it'll be a good feature. e.g. there is side quests to get a wife so gain status amongst people in the town, and then you have to do tasks like one time you come home and find a letter on the floor with a ransom note so then have a quest to go find her.
Started playing Morrowind with the overhaul mod. Not really stopped for several days now. I played the original non modded when it first came out, but i was quite new to crpg's back then so didnt do much other than follow the main quest for a while then muck about. This time around it blows everything else out the water. Oblivion... lol. Skyrim? Probably another lol.
The overhaul was so easy to get running and looks fantastic. Cost me £6 for the GotY version from CEX. Go do it!

Just got it all yesterday, going to install later and give it a whirl.
I loved Morrowind, must have played it for months.
BTW, have you got a link to the install instructions for the 2011 mod? The link in the folder is down and want to get it right first time?
It's a roleplaying game, why not have that feature
+1, Friendship/Relationship is the opposite of dumbing down - many of the best RPG's ever have this. BG2, kotor, Dragon age etc...

While it can be seen as "fluff" for some games if it has an impact on the outcome of the story then it is certainly a feature I want in the game. Means you can play it atleast twice and get different stories 
This is what i used.

Then this, it gives decent settings to make it look much better than the above.

Its the sort of meaningless **** that padded out GTA San Andreas. Bethesda games have enough bugs in them as it is that the COMMUNITY always fixes for them without adding more 'fluff' as someone called it that probably needs bugfixing too. It'll probably have zero impact on anything and seem really half arsed in its mechanics anyway.
As for houses... they were available for somewhere to use as storage. Thats all they've ever been used for, you could decorate it if you really wanted to.

Thanks for that, will have a go later though I thought you meant you had the Morrowind 2011 mod pack.
Have you tried the Morrowind 2011 overhaul as heard good things about that too?

exactly. now we have more of a point to them. you never know may have even more features that we are unaware of.
How does a wife/husband in them make them have more point? They're effectively just another piece of decoration. I can't exactly see it not feeling out-of-place.
You say it is pointless, but doesn't having that feature there give something to the community when they come to improve upon the game? Having the mechanic for a relationship/marriage means that they can expand, improve or hell remove it if it's crap. I like to see these things added, it provides a little more depth to the world other than "Do quests, level up, kill boss, end".
The game's true value will come in time with the community, but I am all for the adding of these features which hopefully one day will not simply be 'fluff' or an added nicety, but be integral to the plot with your actions in your relationship having an important effect on the main game.
You can choose not to have a spouse, so you can continue on with your nice empty house and spending the game talking to yourself not making any kind of relationship/impact on the world other than your sword/axe.
And those who do choose to pursue it will continue on with their houses, with added realism, making a connection to the game world, even if it is only in story/in the mind.
I highly doubt that the omission of this feature would sort out the rest of the bugs that are likely to be present.
