Brorrowind

[Holkeye]

New visual mod for Morrowind. Seems like there's a new one every 6 months, but this is the latest. It took me a few seconds before I realized that they were actually the same area. This looks so good.

Oh shit, this is convincing me to play Morrowind again

[pacdiggity]

Dear lord this is amazing.
Whenever I play Morrowind I can't do anything else...
I'm gonna have to pass.

[Forty]

Err... the first screenshot is from Oblivion.

[pacdiggity]

Then why does it have the Morrowind HUD?

[Jonesy]

Then why does it have the Morrowind HUD?

It has the Oblivion HUD. D: I didn't even notice lol

[pacdiggity]

D:
My mistake, you are correct sirrah. Turns out I haven't played either in a while now...
So, uh, why would an Oblivion screenie be there?

[Holkeye]

The first picture is of an old mod, which basically puts Morrowind in the Oblivion engine. The screen is of a lighthouse in Seyda Neen, but its just a reference. So yes, while the HUD may be from Oblivion, the location is from Morrowind.

[pacdiggity]

Gnu it.

basically puts Morrowind in the Oblivion engine.

Urr...
1. Why? (Hadn't incorporated their own engine by then I'm guessing.)
2. Awesome.

[Sophist]

Shit, that looks like Myst honestly. Which isn't a bad thing, Myst was fucking beautiful.

Well, not the very first one, but Riven and Exile were godawesome.

[Roph]

I've never played any Elder Scrolls game (unless you count Oblivion: Fallout 3 Edition). Is morrowind a good one to start on?

[modern algebra]

Yes. Morrowind's the best of them I think.

[Moss.]

If you can get past the awful graphics (perhaps by using this mod). I tried to introduce a few friends to Morrowind back when it came out. It didn't stick, because they couldn't get past how goofy it looked, and they weren't the type to mod (console-only people).

[Gracie]

Never got into it. Gameplay bored me, and the graphics burned my eyes. ALSO WHY CAN'T I HAVE A DRAGON/BE ONE.

[Moss.]

There is undoubtedly a mod to let you accomplish this.

Cliche-breaker!

[Holkeye]

I actually think Morrowind has a much better world, but Oblivion's gameplay is better. I've said it a million times, but die rolls ruin the authenticity. They're fine in a turn-based game, but when you're standing over a mudcrab, beating the piss out of it with a hammer, and missing every other swing, I just can't suspend my disbelief. I like the physics-based combat of Oblivion so much more.

[Dwarra?]

I've fought mudcrabs tougher than you, Holk.

[Moss.]

You s'wit!

[strike]

by "puts morrowind in the oblivion engine" does that include gameplay wise because that might be interesting to play around with. graphics mods I honestly don't care about too much but that sounds interesting.

[Dwarra?]

You s'wit!

You n'wah!

[pacdiggity]

I've fought castles softer than Sword.

[Dwarra?]

You elves are all flash, no fury.

Yes, but this type of mod is usually very broken. As in, no quests, just areas to explore.

[Dwarra?]

Also no levitation holmes, what up wit dat?
This almost inspired me to download/install Brorrowind (found the link and everything) but then I decided to just mod the fuck out of Oblivion since I've only ever played Vanilla.
