    morrowinds graphics may look dated but they are still comfy to me.

    • @jarg8
      @jarg8 Před 7 lety +35

      Stinkyremy The strong art direction really helps this game a lot. It's so strange and distinct, even to this day.

    • @bobbydigital3860
      @bobbydigital3860 Před 7 lety +3

      I still play wizardry 8 which came out one year before morrowind so the base game graphics don't bother me at all I'm used to it by now.

    • @bjhunnicutt652
      @bjhunnicutt652 Před 7 lety +55

      Y'know what's really crazy? Despite Morrowind being older and blockier than Oblivion, no one in Morrowind is anywhere near as ugly as the people in Oblivion. What's up with that?

    • @oliviarose222
      @oliviarose222 Před 7 lety +16

      Bj Hunnicutt I know! The people in Oblivion look like waxy potatoes! I prefer Morrowind's graphics over Oblivion's.

      @jomackson3305 Před 7 lety +1

      plus everywhere you go, in morrowind you can see more present npcs than in oblivion, making cities lively and possibly even more fun, if say you wanted to cast a frenzy spell crafted to cover the city area of balmora, paired with camillion 100% to observe the chaos.

      @stalhandske9649 Před 7 lety +30

      I was wondering the same thing, then it dawned to me: we are inside an unlit, unwindowed ship. It's an immersion thing, when you think.

      why? xD ''lets change how the uploader wanted their video just because we want it darker''

    • @Lizzarruss
      @Lizzarruss Před 7 lety +12

      I think it's more of a compression thing, it's not CZcams literally hitting a switch saying "fuck you, your video is pitch black now xDDDD"

  • @madcat789
    @madcat789 Před 7 lety +1549

    The fact that Morrowind is still getting mods nearly twelve years on is quite baffling, to say the least.

    • @M1Nt3Nk3R
      @M1Nt3Nk3R Před 7 lety +90

      Age of Empires II, which was originally released in 2000 is not only still getting new mods on daily basis, it also gets new DLCs, professional tournament(-s?), and tons of new content on youtube and other social media.
      And, 17 years after original release it is still played so much that its in top 50 most played games on steam at the moment. Talk about baffling :D

    • @davidbaas9351
      @davidbaas9351 Před 7 lety +37

      Samuel Gajdoš it is not fair to compare an actionadventurerpg to a rts game because they are generally timeless. see warcraft3 starcraft etc

    • @M1Nt3Nk3R
      @M1Nt3Nk3R Před 7 lety +12

      To a degree, I agree that RTS games tend to age a bit better, but AoE 2 is special even among RTS games

    • @LunarDelta
      @LunarDelta Před 7 lety +17

      Good games will keep players for a long time. People are still releasing new mods, maps and mutators for UT 99.

    • @JonathonTheAsshole
      @JonathonTheAsshole Před 7 lety +45

      Why is it baffling that the best TES game, and the last decent thing Bethesda released, is still getting mods?

    • @CJtheRad
      @CJtheRad Před 7 lety +16

      Yeah, looking at this video I remembered how impressed I was when i first got this game when it came out and played in on the original x-box. It looks old now but totally playable. I'm going to go get the steam version right now.

    • @veel60
      @veel60 Před 7 lety +1

      Great idea, I got 50 hours in it on steam, and I haven't even gotten far. (It's really an amazing game)

    • @MonteKristof
      @MonteKristof Před 7 lety +20

      I feel like the original grafic, though dated, are a style of their own. i also really like them, it gives that old school dungeon crawler style. the new grafics are amazing as well, of course!

    • @JonathonTheAsshole
      @JonathonTheAsshole Před 7 lety +18

      In 2001 Bethesda was ahead of everyone else. Now they are behind in just about everything when it comes to games like this.

  • @GottaLoveShuckle
    @GottaLoveShuckle Před 7 lety +169

    I actually think Morrowind looks way better than Oblivion but that's just because they went for a way too cartoony style for Oblivion.

    • @yeetleslaw8529
      @yeetleslaw8529 Před 7 lety +37

      Morrowind has actual art direction. They crafted a world that truly felt foreign. Oblivion went for the stereotypical fantasy world.

    • @gumibon9485
      @gumibon9485 Před 7 lety +64

      That was on purpose. Morrowind IS very foreign and different. There's ashlands and red eyed, grey elves, and giant mushrooms. Cyrodiil is based on the Roman Empire. It is supposed to be stereotypical fantasy. It still has an "actual" art direction! ^^

    • @yeetleslaw8529
      @yeetleslaw8529 Před 7 lety +9

      tano micio That can be argued, yes. But it's not impressive when the direction is stereotypical fantasy.

    • @jomackson3305
      @jomackson3305 Před 7 lety +12

      I think to some level the modders just need to finetune the optimization to demand less, but I cannot deny what they have done is easily worth it for the patient.

      Jeffrey F, I guess you’ve never heavily modded Skyrim before then. In some cases, if you don’t run it on an SSD, you’ll get crash-to-desktops because the game can’t load assets quick enough.

  • @LingeringFungus
    @LingeringFungus Před 7 lety +811

    A few things to check out. Morrowind S.T.E.P. (better than mgso in terms of graphics) and OpenMW and what is possible with it's graphics, not to mention how much better it runs.
    Morrowind will never die, as each year people will release mods to update it, to rebuild it, to bring it to modern gamers. Wheather it's Skywind (Morrowind in Skyrim), OpenMW (a new engine for Morrowind), or a graphical overhaul and engine patcher, Morrowind will always have something to keep it alive, and that goes to show you the level of love people have for this game!

    • @Xyphyri
      @Xyphyri Před 7 lety +10

      Why can't I find any gameplay with S.T.E.P.?

    • @LingeringFungus
      @LingeringFungus Před 7 lety +2

      Not sure honestly. If my pc could run that, I would have it up. I have found very little in way of recent Morrowind updates, which is odd. You should also look into Morrowind Normal mapped for OpenMW. It looks amazing!

    • @Xyphyri
      @Xyphyri Před 7 lety

      Lingering Trees Yeah, I've modded mine with mgso, and looked at the screenshots for S.T.E.P., but I'd love to actually see some gameplay. I suppose I'll have to install it myself to see. OpenMW looks like a great project, but I don't see it being too helpful on it's own. It'll need compatible mods etc. to compare to the official engine.

    • @LingeringFungus
      @LingeringFungus Před 7 lety +2

      It has a few mods now, and many modders are working on going over to the new engine it offers. So far there aren't many texture mods made for OpenMW only, but most graphics mods should work anyway, and the new engine should run better with them. Barring any bugs the new release may have created. Fix one bug, make many more in the process.
      It's an amazing show of dedication by the community for the game. If you're not interested yet then MGSO and S.T.E.P. are the way to go! I was actually thinking of doing a Morrowind S.T.E.P. install for openMW and putting it on my channel... I just need some time away from work to do that, lol.
      If you do install it, would you be able to upload some footage of it? I'd love to see it!

    • @Xyphyri
      @Xyphyri Před 7 lety +1

      Lingering Trees Thats a pretty big if. I've got an mgso install cirrently, so it'll require a backup and reinstall. And despite me being able to rin games like Skyrim fine on my old ass PC, mgso runs like shit. If I get decent frames in STEP I'll definitely post something. However it's unlikely.

    • @KingBlonde
      @KingBlonde Před 7 lety +21

      If you know anybody who's good with computers, speak to them about building you a PC. You'll save a lot of money getting the parts individually and having someone put it together. It can all be confusing but it doesn't take long to know what it's all about :)

    • @Nelo_Angelo_Nero
      @Nelo_Angelo_Nero Před 7 lety

      You always save money if you buy a new PC for 800€ 'cause you have all the power you need for the next 3 years. Getting the parts individually had never make any sense. :)

    • @Bollibompa
      @Bollibompa Před 7 lety +37

      +Manfred Mayer
      You know nothing, but I like that you act as if you do. Nothing you said is true.
      Have you ever built your own PC? Are you 15 years old? You sure act confident while being completely uninformed.

    • @KingBlonde
      @KingBlonde Před 7 lety +2

      @manfred mayer I meant if you were to buy a PC at $800 per say, you could buy the parts individually (if you're a smart buyer) and have it built for a fair amount cheaper. I've been building computers since I was 12 or something, and trust me, you'll only be updating RAM at the most when it comes to a 3 year span. For example, you could buy an older build outright for $1200 or so, but you could build it for much less if you got the parts individually.

    @Jubanen12 Před 7 lety +151

    The way the original barren land becomes suddenly lush with green vegetation is kinda too much... there are some areas that are very green, almost jungle like in Morrowind but the starting area should be barren imo :P I guess there is room to choose from.
    Pretty cool though gotta admit!

    • @Frisbie147
      @Frisbie147 Před 7 lety +35

      The Great Cornholio theres different settings in mgso for the vegetation, the one he picked in the video was the really high setting, also he has a higher render distance, so that's causing the high amount of vegetation too

    • @ohauss
      @ohauss Před 7 lety +23

      The starting area wasn't barren in the original game, so I don't see what your point is.

    • @jomackson3305
      @jomackson3305 Před 7 lety +5

      It was actually a bog, so maybe less veg, but by a small amount. Had he head the other way to the barren canyon, ye that would be next to no veg as it was a barren bad land there covered in blackened stone.

  • @Psydrre

    Worst thing about Morrowind arent graphics. Its animations and combat system

    • @lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127
      @lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 Před 7 lety +25

      Yes the animations are bad, the walking is bad. I don't like installing any mods, but if there was a mod to just make them walk more realistic then that would complete the game for me.

    • @Weldedhodag
      @Weldedhodag Před 7 lety +32

      combat system isn't even that bad. It wasn't trying to be an Action RPG like Oblivion, or an open world amusement park like Skyrim, it was trying to be more like a tabletop RPG more than anything else. Which is why hitting your target is determined by RNG. If you compare Morrowind to two games that may as well have been made by a different company (Which it was, pre-Oblivion Bethesda was a lot different that post-oblivion.) it doesn't end up all that fair.

      Currently on the second of back to back unmodded playthoughs. I've had zero issues with any skill 40+ backed by appropriate 50+ attributes.
      You do realize that any skill 40 and below is BAD and any attribute below 50 is as well right? Making jack of all trades characters is a good way to be bad at everything for the first 10 levels. Want to not suck at melee at low levels? Make a 60 Str 50 Agi Reguard Long Blade user with 50 Long Blade skill and +10 attack starting off. Want to be a good archer? Make a 40 STR 85 AGI 50 Marksman Bosmer. You'll land ~ 90% of your arrows on similar level targets from creation. Don't expect to make some crap like a 50 STR 50 INT Dunmer with 35 Long Blade and start off a melee power house. Hell in general Dunmer are Nub Traps for inexperienced players.

But since then I lost myself in SOMA, cried like a little bitch with Life Is Strange, had some pure childish fun with the new DOOM... Try other genres m8, good luck

    • @ennuied

    Graphics may be outdated, but even years later, they still nail that gritty feel.

  • @PfcSoup
    @PfcSoup Před 7 lety +17

    Am I the only person who actually likes the old graphics? Beyond the nostalgia and charm, things just arent anywhere near as cluttered and overgrown. Also I dont understand why "Better Graphics" means we have to make interiors darker. Sure it may be realistic but it makes it harder to see (Halo 2 Anniversary did this too). Oh well, to each their own, enjoy the graphics mods if you need them. Great thing about mods is that they are all optional and thanks to this fantastic community there is no shortage of non graphics mods to play with as well

    • @darthcannabris5406
      @darthcannabris5406 Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah but when you have 30,000+ hours in this game, the graphics start to get a little bit stale.

    • @andreigirjoaba360
      @andreigirjoaba360 Před 5 lety

    @garstrum4401 Před 7 lety

    Never finished Morrowind as a kid, finally went back and did it last year with this overhaul. It really does help with immersion and overall 'wow' factor in such a great world. Morrowind just has this great 'lets go exploring' atmosphere that the newer games never quite captured. If you've never played/finished Morrowind but love the newer Elder Scrolls games, I would absolutely recommend getting the graphics overhaul and doing it! Such a cool experience.

      Me too. And signs were written in Dunmer language, so I don't mind at all that I have to "hover my cursor at them" to read where I'm actially going, because it's Vvardenfell, Dunmers' land. And fluid gameplay is more important than HD graphics. No hickups, no floating flora. That's my opinion. The only way I've upgraded my Morrowind was a patch that unlocked 16:9/16:10 proportions and resolutions.

      starfire nostalgia is pretty much what we all are. I totally agree. spent more time trying to get the mods to feel right than I ever did playing the game. also any Bethesda game I've ever modded made me go into debug mode "in my brain at least" and wander around screwing off instead of trying to enjoy the experience and finish the game.

      starfire I feel the same way after using MGSO V3.0 and Morrowind Rebirth (which both of them didn't completely fixed 2 game breaking glitches other than pickpocketing percentage, so congrats on that, which I didn't know about it). Which in MGSO (maybe MR as well) they've gotten a few armour wrong, like bloodmoon Nordic mail pauldrons goes to the neck of the character and NPCs. Even with Ordinator's helmet texture looked like some sort of internet meme (messed up faceplate on the helmet). Also Lords Mail looked worse than the vanilla.
      I was actually hoping for modders to make an HD remake (even throw in lore friendly content even a bit of new as well). All I can see is that they just hit and miss. Although the unofficial patch did worked out as intended.

    My unpopular opinion (maybe because my laptop isn't good enough for MGSO or MGE while keeping the game fluid):
    When playing Morrowind, I prefer to play it with no mods or only face mods. Morrowinds charme goes hand in hand with the old graphics and there's something in the modern look, that kills or better, that alters the specific feel I get, when I replay this wonderful game. It's the same with System Shock 2. Can't imagine playing that one with graphic enhancing mods.

      @chen-gongfu Před 7 lety

      Prototype60 nostalgia, yeah, definately to some extent. But to be honest, it's more than that, just like ultraboy222 said. Sound quality, textures, distances, shaders and all that may be enhanced to intensify the game experience (I can understand that), but the animations, the engine and such stay the same. I'm aware of the possibilites, that they can be modded too (again, to some extent), but then you already change Morrowind as the game itself to a whole different game in my opinion.

      I guess only to the new generation of gamers and graphics whores. I was around to play some 94-95 PC games so nowadays maybe that's why I don't really have a problem with playing old games. Especially because old games relied way more on other things to make the experience more immersive since they couldn't do much graphic wise because of technical limitations of the time. People today need to invest themselves in graphics because devs are dropping the ball on pretty much all other aspects that helps to make game immersive as well. It's not only graphics. It never was about that.

      It has balancing problems and crafting (alchemy & enchanting) can be abused that's right, but otherwise it's a pure RPG with pure RPG mechanics, the dice roll is linked to your skill, if you're bad with swords you'll miss, makes perfect sense, in some way it's even more realistic than newer game mechanics, have tried hitting a rat with anything? Could you hit an experienced swordsman? This was time where games have the balls to not accomodate the player, you start weak, puny and incapable but you grow stronger throughout the game and that was satisfying.

    • @BurningUp99
      @BurningUp99 Před 6 lety

      imo Morrowind needed the Fallout 3 V.A.T.S. system. However as we all know this came out years before Fallout 3 and V.A.T.S. As Tidus said the reason the combat feels a little weird in Morrowind is, is because they were trying to mix a traditional RPG combat system with a first person, real time action RPG system.

    • @ashwath5733

  • @lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127

    Personally I rather play vanilla as it doesn't feel disjointed. The problem with graphics mods for me is the world starts to feel disjointed and I can never be immersed into the world, this is because certain textures are enhanced far more than others and sometimes you find a texture that isn't even enhanced. Also from a distance sometimes a too large resolution texture get a bad tiling effect. Then add on things like floating vegetation and I just can't tolerate it, I would rather play vanilla so I can be more immersed in it.
    I found that when playing skyrim also, whenever I modded it I was always looking for things that were modded in it and things that weren't enhanced caught my eye a lot, when I should have been just enjoying the game. So I put it back to vanilla and enjoyed it more.
    In my opinion vanilla is the best, because the game studio made an effort to make the world feel uniform in resolution and spent a lot of time and money doing this. Where as the modding community can never make the world feel uniform, they just make it feel disjointed.

      *cringe level 1,076,982*
      Bruh, Morrowind was a good game, and I so agree with you. But it wasn't good enough to put a game like Skyrim out. I don't even find much interest in Skyrim, but facts are facts.
      First of all, Skyrim had cutting edge graphics, especially after Special Edition came out last year. The game has always been applauded on its phenomenal graphics, and not even Morrowind overhauled could reach that level of appearance.
      Second, Skyrim had many mechanics that drastically improved the gaming experience. Leveling up is less complicated, to appeal to newer gamers to the series. People don't feel as if they would make the wrong choice of main skills and would have to start all over way later.
      Third, the modding community in Morrowind may be great, but the engine is very weak and outdated. At the time of its creation, modding in games wasn't very popular. This caused Bethesda to build the games engine in a simple way, that's harder to mod. With Skyrim, Bethesda knew of their enormous modding community, therefore creating a very customizable engine. The engine for Skyrim is so free that it comes with a creation kit for mods, and some people have even made their own GAMES on it.
      I'm fine with you enjoying Morrowind, because so do I. But it just makes me so apoplectic to hear you say it's better than the rest in the series, because even though I stopped at three, there are about a thousand more reasons why the newer games are more developed and advanced than a 2002 game.

    • @glideo

      It's kind of a good thing that they make their games appeal to casual gamers. They make more money off of it. That's a good thing for a big company like them. They have more customers therefore a bigger budget. You must not understand marketing and business.

    • @glideo
      @glideo Před 7 lety

      maybe so, but as the mechanics get watered down more and more for the older fans it becomes less fun to play. that's why there is so much love around morrowind because it's bethesda's least watered down game. same reason fallout 4 is one of the most hated games in the franchies, even by some console players.
      i know the old fans are just a small part of the market but it's still sad to see what was one of the best companies fall so low.

    This mod seems to be built on that classic Valve philosophy: If the water and lighting is better, plus there's slightly better models, you've totally remastered it. XD

    Played this for the first time a few months ago and could see why this is the most popular game in the series. Took me awhile to figure out why I could never hit anything with my attacks.

    Thank you for this video. I have Morrowind, thanks to a Steam Sale, but have not installed it yet. I have almost 1200 hours in my heavily modded Skyrim, so I'm kind of spoiled by the graphics and gameplay.
    Thanks to your video, when I do play Morrowind (hopefully soon as a change of pace), I'll ensure I have the mods you listed.
    And, like many others, I'm looking forward to the Skywind mod, which recaptures Morrowind using the Skyrim engine.
    Suggestion: provide the Nexus links in the description as other mod reviewers do.

    Well, it really seems like mods like these really does wonders. Landscape-wise it looks like quality somewhere between Oblivion and Skyrim. Even almost as good as Skyrim in some areas when it comes to lighting.

    Drool.
    I would be a terrible person to do these videos. I just would not be able to stop myself from harvesting.
    Way back in 2002 I got a new top of the range computer, and I played on Morrowind with my friend and we were in awe of the graphics. This is very nice, although the floating vegetation is winceworthy.
    Morrowind is still my favourite game of the Elderscroll series, back before they started messing with auto levelling areas. I loved that at low levels you would steer well clear of Daedric temples, then eventually you would start sneaking in for some of that sweet loot, and at high levels you would go charging in yelling "Come at me bro!" It gave a genuine sense of progression somewhere other than the leveling screen.

  • @electronkaleidoscope5860

    While Im not surprised tbat people are still playing it, it still makes me happy to see "morrowind" and "2017" in the same title :3

    You can fix the floating grass by disabling the "Vvardenfell Grass" from MGSO options.
    Morrowind Rebirth is the reason why it's floating.

    @holarndius Před 7 lety

    haha i was listening to the control sticks on your controller more than the video haha, not sure why but the sound of the sticks brought back more nostalgia than the thought of the game did for me. Do love Elder scrolls series though Morrowind was my first runin with the series and it was great.

    3:32 This is a different game. Another world. I can not believe it. Incredible.
    I admire the people who did, such a wonderful change with the game. They breathed new life into it.
    I've never played Morrowind, but now I will definitely do it.

    I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game...and have never beaten the main story. Usually I map out the world, explore caves, kill bandits, do a billion side quest/guild quests, reach a super high level, and then get bored. I did this so many times and honestly I don't think I ever visited the north east side of the island.
