OT- Christ, now I can try Morrowind without feeling my eyes hurt from the graphics. Good game content behold, now Skyrim style!

OK, more serious this time. I just jizzed everywhere.
You pretty much either have to swim, teleport (using Divine Intervention scrolls in the northeastern part of Vvenderfall usually works), or use console commands. There used to be a mod that where you could pay to take a boat from Seyeda Neen, but it's not compatible with the newest versions of the mod.charge52 said:

Bethesda should be hiring those who are making the best mods. I hope they're paying attention to what people are doing in the workshop. Soon enough there will be no need for DLC since the community of fans are making their own (if companies really care about their customers, which I doubt). I'm sure consoles will be following suit in a generation or so.
Yes. Because when they first started Morroblivion they almost got cease and desisted out of existence because they didn't specifically require you have Morrowind installed.Drejer43 said:
They survived because they fly under the radar and they now require you have Morrowind installed to install the mod. The attention they are getting at the moment is likely to net them another swarm of cease and desists.
Now I just hope someone else loves the Morrowind leveling/skill system as much as I do and decide to mod that in as well. Yes, I'm aware most people prefer the hand-holding in Skyrim, but I would love to have a reason to invest time into a character again.
Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to the final release for this. Morrowind is still one of the most fascinating and mysterious lands to ever grace video games. I spent so much time there as a kid and I know there is so much I didn't get to see. Can't wait to go back there again.

There is no way to tell when the last Elder Scrolls will be. And it's far easier to port the games between the version when they only have to move one game engine up at a time, rather than trying to port from a decade old engine to a brand new one. This way is far more efficient and shows just how much people loved Morrowind. It's a good thing.EHKOS said:
Oh wow, this looks fantastic. Thank you for spreading the word about it, I may have never found this otherwise. I can't wait to give this a try.ohnoitsabear said:
Not just overhauled combat, but radiant AI gives so much life to the game world. Everybody goes about their day to day business. It also adds voice acting to Morrowind! So that's all 52'158 lines of dialogue in Morrowind will be voiced.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
It also greatly improves Syrim, featuring Deadly Reflex so that you can do decipations and finishing moves, kicks ect... with new spells: Mark & Recall, Intervention (Divine/Almsivi), Levitation/Slowfall Spells and play all 3 games with your one character.
There will be other advantages like being able to play as your werewolf character in Oblivion..
and not having that crappy level scaling system, so that you can no longer take on every creature as a level 1 character, only merchants have leveled inventories.
It's not just about stunning visuals.
No they can't get cease and desisted anymore. They managed to find a work around.. with mesh and texture replacers, you haven't even read their FAQ :/Andrew_C said:
Not a good idea to broadcast what they're doing before it's complete. They're probably going to get a "Cease and Desist" letter for it. If you're going to release a mod that recreates a company's game, it's better to finish the entire thing in secret before telling anybody about it, and then release it instantaneously in its entirety. That way the company doesn't know you're doing it until it's done, and therefore can't stop you early with a "Cease and Desist" letter. (The old "Your parents can't tell you 'no' if you don't ask." trick.) That would give lots of people time to download the finished mod it before it gets taken down, which means lots of people will be able to re-upload it under the radar later.
It's a shame. I would have really liked to see this completed, but they've exposed themselves now.

And lo, we are provided with yet another reason to call for Bethesda to finally make a full-on Elder Scrolls game featuring every region with missions and quests and such across all of Tamriel, as an official part of the franchise. TAKE MY MONEY, DAMMIT!
I hope something like this comes to the consoles (or at least the 360).
OT: Some of those textures do not hold up. Some of it had that very distinct late '90s, early '00s uncanny 3D rendering feel to it. And the 1ft-1ft floor texture that kept getting repeted was distracting.

To be honest, do you really think any added voice acting, if any is actually added, is going to be any good? Even if it is good, due to the amount of dialogue there probably won't be huge variety in voice actors, and it will just be the whole Oblivion and Skyrim problem of finding tons of people with the same voice. Not to mention that radiant AI is pretty flawed, and the only difference would be certain people would be in bed at certain times, which would make being a thief way easier than it was. Also, it doesn't really count as improving Skyrim if it comes packed with another mod. Not to mention the fact that most people who want to play Morrowind, don't really want to have to buy two games, they want to buy one game, Morrowind. In fact, most of the things this remake would do, could easily be done now. If I wanted to be a werewolf in Oblivion, there's a mod for that, if I want to remove the level scaling in Oblivion, there's a mod for that. If I want upgraded visuals in Morrowind or Oblivion, there are mods for that. If I want better combat in Morrowind, Skyrim, or Oblivion, there are mod's for that which I could just download now. This mod doesn't really add much that isn't already there.TheUnbeholden said:
