morrowinds graphics may look dated but they are still comfy to me.
Stinkyremy The strong art direction really helps this game a lot. It's so strange and distinct, even to this day.
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.
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?
Bj Hunnicutt I know! The people in Oblivion look like waxy potatoes! I prefer Morrowind's graphics over Oblivion's.
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.
"Look at the ships interior how detailed."
*I can't see anything*
rest was very nice tho really
same here. Its pitch black inside the ship.
I was about to comment with the same thing.
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''
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"
The fact that Morrowind is still getting mods nearly twelve years on is quite baffling, to say the least.
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
Samuel Gajdoš it is not fair to compare an actionadventurerpg to a rts game because they are generally timeless. see warcraft3 starcraft etc
To a degree, I agree that RTS games tend to age a bit better, but AoE 2 is special even among RTS games
Good games will keep players for a long time. People are still releasing new mods, maps and mutators for UT 99.
Why is it baffling that the best TES game, and the last decent thing Bethesda released, is still getting mods?
The graphics I had no problem with, my problem was that everyone walked like they had a big shit in their pants
Once I really got into the game I stopped noticing, but yes. lol
The mods look like a 2009 game, which is still a massive improvement.
not really... I don't know what 2009 games you've been looking at.
Fargoth Ur Minecraft
Fargoth Ur I'm kidding. it looks slightly worse than ac2 Tbh. it's about average looking if it came out then.
under average
Fargoth Ur agree to disagree
The original graphics are quite good, I kinda like them. But holy hell those mods look good!
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.
Great idea, I got 50 hours in it on steam, and I haven't even gotten far. (It's really an amazing game)
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!
In 2001 Bethesda was ahead of everyone else. Now they are behind in just about everything when it comes to games like this.
Yeah! I don't know what happend, Fallout 4 looks like morrowwind just details are improved weirdly enough
I actually think Morrowind looks way better than Oblivion but that's just because they went for a way too cartoony style for Oblivion.
oblivion got weird faces and creatures
Check out Oblivion Character Overhaul 2 :D Amazing mod :3
Morrowind has actual art direction. They crafted a world that truly felt foreign. Oblivion went for the stereotypical fantasy world.
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! ^^
tano micio That can be argued, yes. But it's not impressive when the direction is stereotypical fantasy.
"There are some long loading times but what are you going to do?"
Buy an SSD
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.
Oh yeah....
I can remember the cell test "cheat". It took about 8 hours on my initial Morrowind PC, dropped to two or something later and when I tried it the last time on my now old Intel Postville SSD on SATA2 it was only a couple minutes since every loading screen took
.......a super star destroyer?
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.
Buy a SSD*
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!
Why can't I find any gameplay with S.T.E.P.?
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!
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.
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!
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.

>Floating plants over the water
>"Ooh! Very nice."
Cracked up.
oh God, this almost brings tears to my eyes. I love this game so much and seeing how much work and love was put into this just makes me happy.
this is why I need to get a pc
daniel nunez My PC is 6 years old now and it works with all the defaults on very high
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 :)
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. :)
+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.
@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.
If you don't count the character models, this looks pretty close to oblivion to be honest :D
Syndera Oblivion is slowly becoming dated
it looks better imo
You can download Morroblivion if you want it to be exactly like Oblivion.
Dan iel slowly? Ha.
In its dreams
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!
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
The starting area wasn't barren in the original game, so I don't see what your point is.
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.
I am not convinced. They need to thighten the graphics on level 3.
Worst thing about Morrowind arent graphics. Its animations and combat system
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.
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.
Evil Herb so true
its boring and nerdy and people who arent boring nerds dont enjoy it
Z The Best In The Universe worst bait I've seen in a long time.
Thanks for the video. Been considering playing Morrowind for some time now, but you actually convinced me. These mods are insane, they really do justice to the game.
I can't wait to fire 26 arrows at a mudcrab and miss 90% of them!
Why ur character is so bad 😂
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.
It is a magical time when you are 15 playing an open world rpg like Morrowind. Now I'm twice that age and I lost the magic.
Don't give up dude, look for magic somewhere else. I'm 22 and a while ago I thought I grew out of video games as my beloved RPGs didn't charm me like they used to do. 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
The only game I play now is the money game, the main goal is to get rid of as many third parties as possible to maximize the profit which I will spend on comfortable gameplay and occasional excitement before I hit the end game. See you around.
I wish you did but I doubt you lived that long.
i think you topped it. again.
I did the same, and I'm playing it again right now, the magic is still there, even better now with mods, I'm just getting more CTDs than I'd like, made me stop playing this week lol
I prefer the signs in the original, felt like it was in dunmer text and you translate it into english letters to pronounce it correctly.
You are thinking of Dwemer (dwarves/deep-elves). Dunmer(dark-elves) are the natives of Morrowind.
Yeah you are right! He got this wrong in the video imo. Luckly there is this mod www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41658 that retextures them but doesn't change the language. I think it looks amazing.
Haha morrowind back when I actually needed to use the map the game comes with
I used the map to find daedric shrines, I was desperate to find daedric armor. Little did I know there was only one full set in the vanilla game.
I remember when this game first came out and there was nothing like it in terms of size and scope until the next generation. Its aged way better than any of the GTA games on PS2, overall had a lot of cool things to find and discover.
Awesome video! Great to see morrowind after all the time I have been away and not seen any mods on it, its quite breath taking really to see the world in such vivid color and detail!
appreciate the video :)
GamerPoets thanks! coming from you! legendary voice!
It looks like Morrowind Rebirth shifted the ground so the grass you loaded in with MGSO is floating.
Yeah, that's exactly what happened
Thankyou so much. I had been wanting to play morrowind again and had been wondering what mods to use and then I happen to see this on CZcams. Thanks!
Graphics may be outdated, but even years later, they still nail that gritty feel.
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
Yeah but when you have 30,000+ hours in this game, the graphics start to get a little bit stale.
This modlist is bad imo. Look at the performance and clutter. If you want a guide that just make the graphcis higher resolution and the game more stable check mgg morrowind on google. Easy to follow guide, lightweight.
Even though it's cool and all, graphics don't matter if it's one of the best games ever
I can believe how small Seyda Neen seems... when I first stepped out of the ship many years ago it seemed so large, huge in fact.
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.
it's nice but the vanilla graphics hold a certain nostalgia for me, I prefer the old in this case
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.
Just don't install the mod that has floating flora????
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.
Fun fact: Warewolves in bloodmoon expansion pack were being used by Argonian male models (tweaked). Edit: Morrowind's Warewolves.
good!!!
The signs not having words on them was inexcusable, even for 2002! These new mods look gorgeous though, great video!
The before and after look of the graphics is AMAZING, brings back memories, that was my favorite game on the original Xbox
I've spend over 250 hours in vanilla morrowind on xbox.
Fight me.
If you buy the condoms and I bring lube, then I'd be happy to *_fight_* you.
That's like 50 hours of gameplay and 200 hours of loading screens
+Ɀ XD
WildBassfly Congrats, you experienced half of the game. Come back when you get some real time put in, bruh lol
I've never played morrowind but 250 hours on a game is no achievement games I hardly enjoy have 300 hours put in
I prefer the original graphics.
IncultaWolf that is not a matter of opinion bc the og graphich are way worse.
No
IncultaWolf you are very dense if you cant seperate fact from opinion
Patrik Radelj He didn't say the original graphics are better, he said he prefers them. That is his opinion. You, sir, are a dumbass.
Fishstyx that is not a matter of opinion the mods are objectevly better
For everyone interested - the game is currently on sale on Good old Games.
Its really amazing how good this looks with mods! You'd never think that this is a 15 year old game - and Jeremy Soul's soundtrack is still amazing.
Makes me want to go back to this game, one of the classics of my youth.
Best Elder Scrolls ever
Sky-morro-blivion.
Sky- for the graphics and better combat system
Morro- for the awesome quests and storylines
blivion- also for the awesome quests and storylines.
billyjean1073 there is skywind and skyblivion in the works, so just install both
Prefer morrowind combat.
i can imagine him walking through the streets like"ohh! detailed road! wow, look at her face!" xD
I like how it makes the walking animation look less ridiculous.
This makes me want to load up Morrowind again. Also, am I the only one who never used the silt striders on my first playthrough?
me too, I actually did not know they existed until I reached balmora.
Jomackson same
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.
Same, finished it 6 times, never used mods.
n0s k3p The word you're looking for is nostalgia. MGSO enhances the overall game experience in every way (at least for me).
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.
n0s k3p I might agree with you because it feels canon when you're playing with the default settings right?
With mods is kinda like you're running away from the core and it's not authentic anymore.
Fábio Eira yeah, that's it. :)
man, that guard walks with complete authority.
This is incredible. Never played Morrowind, but now when I see how beautiful it can be, I prbbly will.
Morrowind was a great game for the time it was in. I absolutely loved this game, and the graphics never really bothered me.
"For the time" either it was always good, or it was never good.
+Sirinterweb That isn't how that works at all. A game can easily be good for its time and then be outclassed in the future. That ultimatum you gave makes no sense at all
Makom's better faces (for all races) :) youll love it
HOLY SHITS! Ima go back and spend another 5 years playing Morrowind with these graphics!
Woah. I always thought Morrowind still looked pretty good but those mod improvements are awesome!
problem still is animations, is there a reason modders cant update animations?
they can, it's just difficult.
***** it does, there is also mod thats pretty much like fnis for morrowind but not too many people made animation mods
Do older games become "unplayable" with age because muh graphicks? That seems a bit douchey to me.
Shoregrey for some people, yeah. I'm guilty of it myself, as much as I love the FF series I can't go back and play 6 because of the graphics, but I can play similar looking games because I played them back then and have nostalgia for them.
You can't play 6? It's the best game in the series.
Morrowind combat is quite possibly the worst of all the other games
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.
Shoregrey yeah it's a damn shame because I've heard how good it is :/ but I don't force myself to play games and I just can't get into it
Back in 2002 that shit was amazing. I remember every game that made me go 'whoa...' and Morrowind was one of those.
Looks amazing thank you for listing the mods, this was my favorite elder scrolls game might be nostalgia but god I would play it all over again with this overhaul
"look at the ships interior" the screens basically black u gnome
The biggest problem with morrowind is the absolutely broken character progression system.
some call it broken,others do not.
LoonyyyWSMN but its actual progression, unlike say fallout 4 and it's 20% more damage for levelling up
It is not broken if it was intentionally designed that way. Don't spread lies.
LoonyyyWSMN
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.
That just means it was designed in such a way that the result was broken.
Wow thats a HUGE difference indeed. so many years ago i played this. amazing
Am I the only one who preferred the old graphics? Everything looked so grey (or red) and melancholic. The soundtrack fits that perfectly.
it's too bad morrowind's combat is so terrible, it really does look good with mods
Morrowind's combat isn't bad. It's RPG combat not ARPG, and kids fail to realise that.
Morrowind's combat is bad. It's RPG dice rolling combat mixed in with action RPG combat which just does not feel good. Amazing game but the combat is definitely a weak point.
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.
Shinethelight V.A.T.S. existed in Fallout 1 and 2 which were way before Morrowind.
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.
This is what passion in the gaming community translates to.
This continues to build my excitement for Skywind
I think that if ES 6, mixed Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim together, we'd have the ULTIMATE MOST AWESOME GAME EVER MADE BY THE HANDS OF BETHESDA!!!!!
Dawson Retter Mixed together? That could mean anything. Could you elaborate?
Sean Hogan Mix skill trees and the class system, bring back the beauty and extravagant things of all three. But not Morrowind graphics, or oblivion/Skyrim graphics. Take all the positive things from 3, 4 and 5, and mix it together to make a LEGENDARY GAME. I never played Morrowind, but it looks dope as hell.
your crazy. we have to play somewhere we havent been yet, I hope ES6 is in valenwood or elswyer
Scottish Samurai Yeah, take everything great from those games, and put it into a new story and country.
skyrims skill trees, oblivions spells and classes, morrowinds detail. done.
looks better than fallout 3
jiub looks terrifying now... first thing I noticed
05:33 Ah that sincere tone in the voice, the childish need to play with the oldest, dirtiest but favourite toy...man, I only need to see a video or hear 2 seconds of that music to feel like this
Sinister Scout lol. Yes when he made that comment he was getting that warm fuzzy feeling inside his dirty filthy guys.
It's nuts that even though the graphics are dated as hell, it's still the best 'modern' Elder Scrolls game. I'll take Vvardenfell over Skyrim any fucking day.
Eric have fun with that one
I actually think the modded graphics look worse... Not sure why, but they look too cluttered and glitchy. The island isn't supposed to be lush or green, I think that makes it look more unnatural.
Also lol at the loading times, way to make the game worse
Fork AyeBee it was sad by some Skyrim characters that morrowind was quite lush though
i wish someone was as excited over me as this guy over morrowind graphics
For morrowind being old you gotta say it was very revolutionary for the time especially those water graphics
Even with the original graphics the game is still better than the last 2 in the franchise.

*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.
YDidU no, it is. maybe not graphically but as time goes on bethesda continues to water down mechanics to appeal to the casual console users. i fail to see what is "cringe" about his opinion. people these days will call anything that moves cringe for whatever reason.
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.
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.
glideo
I know where you're coming from, I very much enjoy Morrowind and I absolutely hate Skyrim. But you just can't blame them for doing what companies are created to do. They spend years and thousands of dollars on games for us, then we have fun and play their content for only a small portion of what they spent to make it.
I do wish the games returned to their original way, but Bethesda needs money.
Oh man. This game.... the memories. My first intro into the TES universe and intro to enormous RPG worlds. The nostalgia oh geez.
Holy shit dude, was not expecting it to look this good
i cant believe how old the graphics look. when i was a kid this game seemed so realistic to me lol it was so fun to play
It is stunning! Especially the water effect.
I remember when I played Morrowind for the first time when it came out and I was blown away that the water had a reflective surface and was interactable with ripples. I had just gotten the Geforce 3 Ti and this was the game I wanted to play with it.
It's sad when the water graphics for this game looks better than skyrims. Skyrims water is just crap
You must have some crappy water mods or none at all.
Nothing in this video looked better than vanilla skyrim water though. You're just nostialgic.
I completely forgot about water mods for skyrim lol but I've always liked oblivions and morrowinds water better than skyrims vanilla. It may not be as realistic but at least it gives an atmospheric feel. Vanilla skyrims water looks so bad. The water on this definitely looks better as far as the modded version goes
. And No i don't have mods for skyrim because I stopped playing it a month after buying it. I may play it here or there but I just can't get over the flaws I don't like about the game. I've tried mods but couldn't find any decent mods that would get me back in the game. Idk.
Every single one of bethesta game's has blown me away by their water graphics alone. Each one is way ahead of its time in my opinion
Bethesda ain't shit anymore
Drew Jacob the first time I played Morrowind, I stopped and stared at the ocean in awe of how great the water looked.
my jaw literally dropped. good job to the creators of the mods
looks pretty dope. loved morrowind back in the day
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
Looks amazing with Mods!
This is so nostalgic for me going to need go back to it soon
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.
I really loved how my left ear exploded every time I skipped a few seconds
Good to see morrowind is still alive. AWESOME GAME!!!
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.
thank you for helping me decide to buy morrowind again and start playing
Really good. A lot better then I was expecting
They made it look like what I remember it looking like in my head haha
maybe something so you dont feel like you're skating everywhere
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.
I wasnt expecting much but holy shit, thats amazing
I was really blown away. The power of mods...
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.
