if anyone has a second. I finally played Morrowind 4-5 years ago up to Balmorra before I got disheartened by my terrible speech/endurance based build. I recently reinstalled in with hopes of actually getting into it, as I did really enjoy the game's quests, lore, and atmosphere my first time around. I would, however, love any graphics/engine improvement.

I'd recommend trying it with the MGSO linked above on the original engine, it's a quick and dirty way to get good graphics. OpenMW is a good option but doesn't have distant land and such which is essential, as well as a few (minor, I believe) bugs. Morroblivion misses out on a huge part of the Morrowind experience- the mods like Tamriel Rebuilt and such. I've also never tried it personally, so I can't speak to it.

Ill try MGSO with Tamriel Rebuilt. Anything else I should know, or compatible mods that you recommend ?

I'm sorry I murdered this thread with my googlable questions. I am however profusely enjoying my first play through after finally wasting money so I can actually hit this with my Long Swords. I love exploring all the areas on my way to towns. It completely feels like a living world; as someone said earlier each dungeon or cave feels exists with its own purpose independent of the player. Like it's not bandit cave #7 each has its own story to discover if you invest in it. Beautiful deep game. Thank you all for the help

I just found out that OpenMW runs on Mac OSX. So of course my login attempts to Steam via steamcmd fail every single time. I've triple checked my login syntax, made sure I wasn't logged into my Steam client, and scoured the internet for other answers to no avail. Anyways, I was just wondering, do any of you think I could get this to work if I just download Morrowind to my windows partition and move the files back over to the OSX partition? illBilliam fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Apr 2, 2016 |

Edit: in fact, if the partitions just act like seperate drives, you might just be able to point the OpenMW installer at the windows files and let it do all the heavy lifting.

I think you might even be able to put your mods in a seperate folder altogether and have OpenMW add them in at runtime, Mod Organizer style!

I just checked out the working mod list at the OpenMW wiki. I'm going to have to try this out. I'm really happy about this. Last year I got Morrowind with MGSO running in Parallels but the performance was underwhelming and prone to crashing. OpenMW so far seems to be working much better not to mention more streamlined.

Considering I wanted to revisit Morrowind and having barely any recollection of the game, are there any must-have mods or is it fine to play as-is? I just had a modding orgy on skyrim and then just never got around to playing and I don't wanna repeat that. I think I'll even skip graphic mods as I doubt they'll make the game look much better. (there's only so much new textures can do) So anything important or can I just have a go at OpenMW and not really miss anything?

OpenMW will some day have that built in, estimate 201X

Like, practically a modern game in many respects better. Better than Oblivion by a mile better. At least in my opinion. But check out some of the MGSO screens and decide for yourself. It doesn't really need much in the way of gameplay mods as far as I can tell, although stuff like Tamriel Rebuilt seems cool.

Thank you You can actually change the draw distance in an OpenMW .ini file. I don't have OpenMW installed atm so I cant check which exactly, but I think it's in the installation directory. The actual line in the file you need to change is pretty self explanatory/easy to find

Are there any packs like MGSO that work with OpenMW to pretty things up a bit? MGSO is being too lovely and unstable for me to stand. If not I'll just skim through MGSO's mod list and pick out the stuff I like.

Thank you for that clarification Cat Mattress. TextEdit for Mac uses RTF quotes by default and auto-changes them by default also, so I got that sorted out along with the rest of the syntax. According to the last post in this thread, when installing mods for OpenMW on a Mac, a folder for the mods needs to be created in the same folder that the .cfg file is found. Then directions can be followed as normal. Got it working now and wow what a difference! Thanks again!

So over a vanilla Steam install, MGSO then Watercolor Retexture is the way to go? Is that all I need? Do I need to worry about anything like mod load order? Or should I just install the top 10 Nexus mods and call it a day?

Or Wrye Mash if you know how things should be ordered and wanna do it by hand. I don't know if LOOT/BOSS have Morrowind support, but they might be alternatives to MLOX.

Reading through openmw's code and list of bugs makes you wonder how bad morrowinds original source code was. Certain bugs only exist in openmw because some vanilla scripts that would normally gently caress up the game failed to load  e: specifically the one in the aldruhn mages guild I think where it has an activator script that activates constantly. Vanilla morrowind didn't work with the scripts poor syntax but openmw has functional code so now the script works and lags out the game.

I almost forgot this thread existed xpost from the skyrim modding thread because I'm dumb and posted it there I signed up for TR again do these guys actually do anything or is it all meetings and planning? they're working on heightmaps for dres land and apparently old ebonheart and almalexia aren't really closer to done than two years ago. I just want to write quests  I got in pretty late to the project but thankfully my quests still ended up in the Sacred East release. "Honor the Ancestors" which was one of the only quests to send you back up north (for some reason TR quests almost never send you more than a few feet away). Bonus points if you cringe at calling Firewatch ""Watch of Fire" which is extremely lame. "Old Soldiers" was me recreating the sixth sense in morrowind form I think I did an Akamora quest too but it was just delivering a report which was lame I used to think a lot of TR quests were super lame then I replayed Skyrim and most of them were just as bad.

I've finally bought Morrowind on Steam and am going through the OP to make it mod-ready. I'm trying to set the .bsa files to 2002, but how the heck does the FileDate program in the OP work? Or there a better way to change the dates on those files?
