why aren't you playing morrowind right now?

>>719663653 (OP)
I don't like open world games or action rpgs

>>719663653 (OP)
I don't own it.

I'm too busy, hopefully I'll get some time to make myself a breton agent and play tamriel rebuilt this year...

>>719663653 (OP)
I hate Morrowind

>>719663653 (OP)
Too much reading involved, worst combat in an early 3d game ever programmed by humankind, 3d models that were already outdated when the game was released.
You can probably immerse yourself in it if you are willing to forget the last 25 years of progress.

Burnout. Played for 300 hours or so this year. I didn't even finish the new Hlaalu stuff.

oh FUCK forgot to spoiler that pic whoops

>>719663653 (OP)
because i had to reinstall windows and lost all progress. maybe i'll try tamriel rebuilt next time. what's the best location to start at lvl1?

>>719665398
Old ebonheart them by level five you can go to that nearby hlaalu city, then down to thir

>>719663653 (OP)
is there anything similar to morrowind? other TES games don't scratch that itch for me, it's perfect blend of story, lore and gameplay, amount of fetch quests is just right. plus it reminds me of conan for some reason. other rpgs that come close for me were ultima 7, planescape torment and baldur's gate 1 and 2. modern fantasy rpgs are so fucking boring

I rather wait for skywind, morrowind i played too much

Not OP, but that seems to be just MGE XE with shaders.

>>719666395
nice thanks

>>719665243
Why are the ayleids so freakish looking? I know they're sorcerer kings or something but why the change in appearance?

>>719666831
daedric pacts ain't free

>>719666979
Is there any normal ayleids around? They should still have some cities in the third era right? Didn't see any in anvil

>>719667140
ayleids got wiped by the end of 2E. only ones left are the ones in the ruins and they're either liches or "ascended" to aurorans by meridia

>>719666395
>>719666025
>>719666570

It's OpenMW with their shaders

high rock

Got stuck after the 2nd quest, brah. After that cube thing. No idea where to go. I don't know how to establish my position IRL let alone in a pixelated old-ass boomer crapware.

>>719663653 (OP)
I already played through it twice. I've had my fill of cliff racers and corprus

>>719667529
I thought project tamriel was going to have ayleid settlements that will be like native american reservations in the US?

I was surprised they didn't show off any of Kvatch in the modcon footage, although seeing Sutch was cool.

>home of the nords
>all content released is in the reach
uhhh

Why does Peryite, the Prince of Pestilence, not simply kill himself for trying to spread disease in a world where cure disease potions are simple to make and cheap and where any Aedra shrine or priest can cure it, too?
What a shitty useless dragon. The other Daedra are even better at his job than him with Hircine and Molag Bal creating Lycanthropy and Vampirism respectively.

>>719668224
Sutch for reference...

>>719668617
It's a shame this guy just does gimmick mods. Seems like a talented guy.

>>719668343
Probably because in universe those potions are not cheap and shrines and priests can't cure it easily.

>>719668713
he really should. he even made that mario royal thing that nintendo dmca'ed then immediately stole and sold

>playing
post a gameplay webm and ill tell you why

or if your IQ reaches triple digits

>>719663653 (OP)
it sucks

>>719668841
has there been any moment in the games where disease has really been a problem?
none come to mind for me besides corprus which is fucked up god magic shit

What hack is this?

>>719669217
normal openMW

>>719669217
Not a hack, morrowind graphics extender with distant land

>>719669390
Don't forget the weather mod shader thing that brings varied weather (and sometimes fog to varying degrees) into it making it really kino to walk around at dusk on a foggy morning.

>just find out the Creation Mod Con was a thing
>look to see what was shown
Why are there like forty different Beyond Skyrim projects running at the same time?

>>719668616
i hate modern water on morrowind the contrast is too big, couldn't stand it and had to switch back, much prefer the 2000s stagnant textures

>>719670161
nah it looks fine, crazy how a game from 2001 can look better than any modern realismslop

>>719663653 (OP)
morrowind doesn't look like that modtard

I'm looking for better games.

>>719669157

No you aren't

Medbros... it don't get much better than this

Why are Morrowind threads so comfy?

>>719668224
modcon was very funny, the tes3 projects completely mogged everything else

>have a look at footage from the playable expansions we released in 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as the stuff we anticipate being out in 2026

>>719674313
I think a lot of it comes down to all the fucking misery and failure that Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel have had in the past. Over 20 years of continuous modwork is finally paying off because they had so many failure and redoes and team implosions. For example the initial release of Project Cyrodiil with Charach was a fucking disaster, the infamous 300k individually placed pieces of kelp on the seafloor dragging performance to the floor and having to basically gut the team of the people who thought that was a good idea. I don't think these other Skyrim modding teams have had that much learning experience yet.
Kelp for reference: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/53339
And that's a sweet shot of the arena, I had not seen that before. I wonder if the empty stands are an homage to the Oblivion arena lmao

>>719675909
That's true, but it's not the result of some intangible project culture zeitgeist, the lessons TR and PT learned are specific and actionable and the only thing stopping BS from adopting them is hubris.
TES3 projects:
>vanilla is the only unchanging standard to measure quality against; pursuing vanilla parity above all else ensures a consistent world and slightly mitigates redo fever
>open development, every single claim and its progress, as well as most developer conversations, are publicly visible; TR even lets you download indev claim files
>you become a developer... by submitting valid work on one of the (openly visible to all!) claims and getting through the review process. anyone who wants to help is encouraged to do so and the process is made as easy and straightforward as possible. at worst, the project gets a finished claim out of it.
TES5 projects:
>standard of quality is ???
>development is locked down and hidden to a comical degree, they unironically get mad at people for "leaking" info
>you become a developer by ??? uhh contact us and we'll talk :)
To be fair, the mod tools for TES5 are harder to use, and it's a more recent game that requires more work for the same amount of content, but that doesn't justify the secrecy. It also helps that the TES3 projects maintain a healthy contempt for ideas guys, while AFAIK Beyond Skyrim is mostly run by those kinds of people.

>>719663653 (OP)
i completed a run like a couple months ago give me a break

>>719677491
I would add another attribute to the Morrowind projects, TR and PT specifically, is that they have completely let go of declaring release dates because why the fuck would you do that. >My grandkids will sure enjoy playing in the Imperial City
is the correct attitude to volunteer projects of this scale.

>>719663653 (OP)
shit series, shit game, shit op, gtfo

>>719665243
would

>>719679746
they don't call her thousand-hands for nothin

>>719663653 (OP)
I didn't get the appeal, like leveling up and traveling along the map is the main reason to play it? It has the same disappointing quests as Skyrim and Fallout 3

>>719663653 (OP)
But I started a new playthrough today.

>>719663653 (OP)
Had a good first run with it some months ago

>>719679746
>wou-ACK!

I already played it a fuck ton this year. It's a shame open world games have regressed so much. I'd totally be down to play more games like it.

>>719679568
skibidi to you sir

I don't like "sandbox" games.
Nor do I like literal RNG for whether my hits land in a fucking action-based game.

DESU just getting torn apart by chains is pleasant compared to how the novella opens
the Cenobites turn all your senses up to an insane level and overwhelm you so much that even the mites on your skin and your own breath is too much

Cool but MGSE or OpenMW

>>719682557
openmw

>>719682557
I used to swear up and down for MWSE because it had mods like Guar Whisperer and Ashfall. However, since moving to OpenMW, I understand it so much better. It looks, feels, and runs so much better. Not to mention, there are tons of good mods for OpenMW that make up for the few good MWSE mods you'll be missing out one. Someday, someone is bound to port Ashfall over. However, playing without it really hasn't been as different as I thought it would be. In some ways, it's less tedious, even.
>inb4 Devilish Needs
That mod is shit and poorly implemented.

>>719682557
I like mgse because I've always used it and have it all set up how I like it, but openmw seems fine.

>>719677491
it all stems from the TR-silgrad tower split, the founders of BS were originally part of TR as part of the people working on the silgrad tower region but split off because TR wanted a little thing called "lore accuracy" which is just actually a byword for quality, the ST team got butthurt over that and split off releasing their mod first, this mod (silgrad tower) is abandon ware over on the nexus, whos to say that when TES6 comes out they wont drop skyrim just like they dropped ST.

The mod itself is shit, blacklight the capital of house redoran uses the imperial tileset, and for some reason has a legion of argonians in charge even the worst parts of TR (the telvannis penninsula) easily beat ST

>>719682916
>lore accuracy
Is this "lore accuracy" as in accuracy to the lore of the Elder Scrolls universe or "lore accuracy" as in accuracy to Kirkbridian fanfic "lore"?

>>719683052
ah look who slithered out of their dungheap. come back to bitch about "lore accuracy"

>>719683213
>brags about it being "lore accurate"
>cries and lashes out when pressed on that
So fanfic "lore" it is then.

>>719683052
Yes.

>>719663653 (OP)
It's ugly and miserable

>>719683354
do you enjoy repeating the same point of lore accuracy over and over again like a parrot?

>>719683549
Don't reply to him, for fuck's sake.

>>719682557
OpenMW

>>719663653 (OP)
Because I play videogames for gameplay, and morrowind has probably the shittiest gameplay ever conceive.

>>719683549
>>719683731
>TR is lore accurate
>are they?
>oh my gosh, why do you keep talking about lore accuracy? shut up!
did a bot get confused or...?

>>719683765
What a majestic looking knight. I hope nothing bad happened to his steed.

>>719682557
Some of the MWSE mods look nice, but openmw just runs so smoothly.

>>719682557
I ended up getting MWSE when I started playing TES3 in December of last year because I had Morrowind in my library for some reason and because there was some temporary issue with OpenMW when I was getting thing sorted out. It seems fine. I hope that's helpful.

>>719683948
I just can't do without custom icons and actual effects.

>>719682557
Neither. Be a contrarian like me and emulate the Xbox version of Morrowind, pissing everybody off.
