10+ Mods That Make Morrowind Great Again 

What where? Oh you mean the SHOW MORE link. For real this guy (Slient Night) has spent more time than me, finding and evaluating the NUMEROUS texture packs.

so these are good to go for android? if so, how do i go about the mod downloads and file transfer, any help would be great because im new to this whole thing and after 4000 hours in skyrim want to go back and play morrowind. on the go

@@DRAWKCABLLA i'm with you, i just find that Android can run Morrowind after my last play on my potato PC 10 years ago

Hey, what if you could LINK animation speed with fatigue? If you think about it it solves everything without changeing dicerolls while fixing mechanics and visuals. It doeas not look stupid, and explain visually to every new player why they missed, and if they did hit...why damage is low. Also would prevent player making those combo avalanche striking fast hitting nothing barrage at fatigue

Ni c e

Truth.

Skyrim still keeps getting released.

I wish they dint use the most boring game of the series again and again..

@@EK-em2zv the very environment and artstyle of skyrim surpasses any elder scrolls including online in terms of immersion,it can't get any better then this except with mods.

@@MGrey-qb5xz The game looks great i agree, but the dialoge is cringe worthy, just look at games like divinity/the Witcher/plane scape .. i wish they would just try to combine it instead of going bigger everytime

Imperial privilege is strong on Morrowind.

Outlander

You N'Wah

In Gothic its the same, both games hold a special place in my memory, they are both very satisfying by progressing, something oblivion and skyrim only achieve for the sake of exploring, your place in those worlds are never in question, and there is little satisfaction, or in game reribution for progressing. All great games, but for different reasons.

i did the same xD he gives some damn good content, but god he talks slow! its kinda ASMR tough, i would like it on some podcast.

X1.5

Wow, makes the vid sound normal. Thanks

I literally put most explanatory things on 2x speed until they say something that requires digesting. Only have one life and not gonna waste it on people stretching stuff out for metrics (this video didn't do that, but you get what I mean - some people just have a slow meter too).

Holy Crap, this helps soooo much TY ❤

Skywind

@@budaroddy thats not the same thing at all.

Yup love this game .

@@budaroddy Skywind in rebuilding Oblivian in Skyrim. Openmw Is building Morrowind in its own new open system. Not really comparable.

Id honestly rather just go back to morrowind made like skyrim than have es6

me too bro

why though? Directions are tedious - and ruthless. Lack of understanding what exactly to do and where things are can lead you to walking around a dungeon for half your playthrough with little insight to where a dwemer puzzle cube is. Added on to the multitude of other frustrating and outdated things in Morrowind it just makes it annoying man.

@@FBIAgent-bs9ie thats the thing, to me, finding out how to play, what to do or where to go, is part of the game, any game. When the player allready knows what to do it only becomes a question of execution, and that creates a different play session from a player who doesn't, he will have to figure it out and maybe come up with their own personal solutions, if the game is good like morrowind. I understand most people simply want to know what to do and execute that goal, thats probably why most triple As now a days mark and tell you everything, but there's also something lost in that, and other people are seeking exactly that lost part of the gaming experience

@@FBIAgent-bs9ie To me an RPG is a lot about the world. I want the world to feel fully realised. With NPCs having schedules, doing their own things, dynamic stuff happening, etc. Not having markers helps that, it makes you engage with the world as a physical space. You think about where things are in relation to each other. You better remember where stuff is, especially as you first have to figure out where it is. And traversing the world ends up feeling more natural. While markers don't make it impossible to engage with the world, they do encourage it to just chase the marker imo. Including silly things like jumping up the side of a mountain because it's the straight path towards the marker, rather than taking the road that leads up the mountain - because you were given direction to follow that road. Now, where it makes sense, I'm not against marking something on a map. It makes sense an NPC who sends you somewhere may know where that thing is on the map and thus show your character. Then the marker serves as a reminder of what your character knows. That said, there may be plenty of NPC in such a world who live in their small town and never really bothered looking at a map. They just know the church is down that way then to the right. Add fast travel and after beelining to the marker, next time you'll go there you'll even just teleport, removing even more physical aspects from the world. As now, you just teleport between a few points. There's also the issue of "tedious". What makes something tedious? When do you remove something tedious? Literally everything in a game is there because the developers programmed it to be after all. Dying is tedious for one, so you could have HP removed, but barely anyone would want that. It's tedious to chase down a fleeing enemy, so don't have them flee anymore, etc.

@@FBIAgent-bs9ie And being led by the hand, walking the steps laid out for you, that makes it fun?

how would you possibly know? :^)

Levi Smith LMAO I just looked up the mod on nexus and you made it lol

Lol looks like i will use this then

@JoeRingo118 But clicking ad infinitum is almost the exact system that TES uses until this very day. Active blocking is nice, but only in so far as it breaks up your monotonous button mashing. TES ahs never had good combat, because it's never been a selling point and currently Bethesda doesn't care.

@@ZenoDovahkiin yeah except in morrowind the button mashing at the start is usually more brainless due to every hit being determined by rng

@@EpicMinecraftFail But you'll hit almost every one of those rng shots if you... yknow, PREPARE for fights and build a good character. If you build a character right you can start off with a 60 in long blade which is enough to get you through a lot of battles, and the best fatigue potions + Boots of Blinding Speed can give you amazing mobility and keep your fatigue up

@@JeeblyWBush you misunderstand my comment. It isn't about getting through battles its about how likely you are to keep clicking until you actually hit and kill something. Even with the long blade skill and fatigue potions you will still miss occasionally. Also having to stack up on potions just so I don't miss every two seconds is just tedious

Because they went too far with it. A couple of misses is fine, but there's no reason you should be taking 20 minutes to hit a giant rat that's sitting there just because you didn't put points into spears or something (not even an exaggeration. I've tried this before and it actually took 20 minutes). It's unwelcoming for new players who quickly realise that they put points into something they won't enjoy. Basically, it doesn't make much logical sense and isn't fun for a lot of people. I don't get why that's so hard to understand...

Graphic Herbalism does the same thing, along with disabling part of the visual (such as the thorns of Trama or the berries of Comberry) and preventing you from accidentally activating it again, but without disabling the plant completely. Support for GH is even built into OpenMW now, though you still have to download the modified meshes for it to work.

At least in D&D you don't always wind up rolling a critical failure more than half the time.

@@zachbahamutson5477 With my luck id have to disagree with that XD but ye i hear you.

@@10nighteyes I love DnD, but I never got the appeal of dice rolls in most video games. Rolling dices to hit shit is fun, when you sit around a table and there is some leaway and flexibility through the DM and some social interaction when you hit or miss, but in Morrowind it feels like you are throwing dices against a wall for minutes at a time, without all the aspects that make it fun in a social setting.

@@keinname1896 i wouldnt know about the sitting around a table part, i use roll 20. but might i say that your reply was a well formed and logical aruement. gj

@@zachbahamutson5477 don't sprint before hitting. I am new to morrowind and it got me only like 6 hours of casual playtime to understand that stamina is what causes most of hit misses and spell failures.

What about your pewter ordinator figure? (I still have mine! :)

@@MrRectangle Possibly but have no idea if mine came with a figure it was so long ago.

Damn, i lost all my physical packaging. Would be super cool to still have it

Start out with just a few mods, perhaps only Morrowind Rebirth. The list he gives here is good, but don't go bananas and load every interesting looking mod out there. Just enjoy the experience. Even vanilla MW is better than most other games out there.

Good argument for no voice acting, the fact that many of the NPCs have the exact same dialogue options is still a bit annoying though. And thank you!

@@SilentNightx I said it was better, not perfect :P

Skywind is giving full voices to every line in Morrowind, such a huge undertaking

Hmm. No. Take out the hyperlink pamphlet like dialogue fluff and make it a bit more natural sounding and it really isnt too much of an undertaking. For a big company anyway. Specially considering that skyrim and oblivion are objectively much bigger than morrowind because if nothing else they have the advantage of newer hardware and those are fully voiced. I much prefer voice acting. Its just more convenient. Helps if its good too. Sure TES voice acting isn't the best but its never not entertaining at the very least lol.

@@SuperJoshuaAguilar Skywind is vaporware at this point. Besides, it's just Vvardenfell, they can't add TR or PT so for me personally it's already a deal breaker anyway.

3. Stop and have a tactical nap between each enemy to regen your fatigue. Just like real life. (Sorry it's a horrible system IMO)

@@MrRocksW I also hated the pause rest system, never used it. Preferred to do "in game" stuff like alchemy and spells. Even eating sometimes though you might need certain skills.

@@MrRocksW t. didn't prepare for any fights beforehand

@@MrRocksW If that is your only complaint, why not just use a mod that increases your fatigue regeneration past the point at which it drains when running instead of using a mod that makes you hit one hundred percent of the time with your attacks? The Fatigue & Magicka Overhaul Mod works very well for solving your problem.

To add to the original post: 3.) Increase your Agility. 4.) Increase your Luck. You can do this when you level, and with fortify potions, scrolls, spells, enchants, or whatever. With enough weapon skill, agility, and luck.. you won't even need your fatigue to be full, and you will be able to land most of your attacks with zero fatigue.

Looks like there's a PR in the works that adds this functionality to OpenMW. See issue #2159 and PR #126 in the OpenMW GitLab. It's tagged for the v0.46 milestone.

Was looking for this comment

Yeah, no stamina no hitting anything and he calls it the worst nightmare of a new players. Damn Silent Night, you should know it's probably one of the best what comes from Morrowind that by using a weapon you actually teach yourself how to do more and more accurate damage, i.e at first you hit 1/10, then it gets better and finally you can hit 10/10 after you trained a lot. It's a brilliant idea and you try to ruin it by some hero hitter weapon mode, which is immerse breaking. No stamina means do something to get it back, then practice more. Then use SPEARS to keep enemies on distance. Or bows - those are hillarious at the beginning, beacause arrows with 1/10 efficiency needs a lot of care. But it pays off, like the patience usually do :). Liked it anyway and subscribed :).

^^^ This, what an n'wah ...

I know, old school mechanic though, having accuracy based on stamina I mean. Wanted to modernize it so I did. With my mod if you are fatigued you will still get punished by getting knocked down when hit like normal.

Even with full stamina, you still miss a lot when your skill level is low. Which, of course, makes sense, but the way the game visualizes combat makes these misses weird and immersion-breaking. If enemies would dodge, like in NWN, it would have been better.

I've played for a very long time and I never knew that Fatigue did that >_>

And agility as a stat is also almost entirely based around increasing your chance to hit while reducing the chance of being hit through miss or block. I think that while you do start out feeling so pathetically weak in MW, this is actually a big strength of the game as it allows you to really, really feel like you're becoming better, and the end be super powerful. In Skyrim and Oblivion you swing, you hit, and their health bar goes down some amount, from low level to high level. It might be a stronger, higher level mob sure, but the feeling to you as to how skilled your character is is the same. But play however you want, and I'm glad the option exists for those who can't stand missing. I think the best solution for future elder scrolls games would be a high hit rate but you unlock more combat moves as you skill up.

I'm gonna be rude.. bunch of dumb fucks out there.

@@UCapdo2lj2Av-r57nhYMZLyQ I highly doubt you played longer than a few hours without knowing this. The game would be literally impossible, unless you also didn't know that you can jump or run.

@@Harbinger1998 the problem is it is too shitty... It's true... Skyrim allows for more skilled gameplay in comparison. There's blocks, bashes, heavy attacks. Different types of weapons with different properties. The NPC fighting if you're skilled (and your game isn't laggy) can feel really rewarding. Your character knows how to fight already... But you can get much better at it (though the combat should have been perfected more, the combat in mordhau for example (not as refined obviously) but with a small add of physics to each attack would have made the fights better) . There's also a lot of Perks that add effects and things that aren't just an increase to damage (though they're lacking). But well that's we got...

Well the boosted draw distance makes that possible as well. One of the few near objective "improvements."

Don't know if compliment or insult lmao.

Compliment. 😆

He's outlander and dunmer, how that is possible I cannot tell.

Sounds like an opium smoker! 😀👍

*Your rest was interrupted* YOU N'WAH!

It's been a week. I bet you didn't stick with it.

@@Aaron-mj9ie Okay zoomer.

@@edstar83 If only you knew how ancient I really was. XD

Hmmmmm it's almost like he doesn't know what he's talking about...

@Rock Lee Sad yep, gotta mod CoD heavily just to get it close to RPG combat. Some idiots programmed it like an FPS.

Thank you for clearing this up

If you were to make a video like this what mods would you use?

@@exiledgoldfish6329 well anything that adds more beauty (reflections, tessellation, ground clutter, whatever) without gutting the gameplay itself. Some minor QoL (real QoL not massive design changes like most folks think QoL means) and you're golden. For me OpenMW fits like a glove with perhaps some foliage added.

It's all about the fatigue bar.... He has zero fatigue and wonders why he can't hit.

1 is enough for that

@@delveticasyeah but it’s so much better slowed down lol

Wow nice catch. Yeah I didn't realize they had incompatibilities because I normally play TR instead of MR but yeah it makes sense that they wouldn't be compatible. Will add that.

I have the game on my phone 😂 still haven't played it much since i have been spoilt by skyrim

The atmosphere is unbeatable.

Skyrim has been hitting me with that something special feeling for the last 10 years

1. the unvoiced dialogue thing is kind of a gripe, but I'm used to it. Not really worth modding in my opinion 2. the lack of directional objectives for quests isn't a problem to me at all, it's the exact incentive that a true RPG should have, which the company has done away with for some reason in order to lure as many new players to their games, so they can make more money. 3. the "accurate attack" mod already exists and has existed for a long time, but it's way more realistic that not all of your hits would connect regardless of if you're right next to them. In the real world, nobody is Deathstroke with a katana. You're still bound by physical reality, and constantly swinging your sword affects the overall means of your swing etc. Taking into account the inspiration for the game, Dungeons and Dragons, it's actually still better to take the _hit chance_ into consideration.

I'll probably revisit Morrowind mods in the future. Yeah unvoiced dialogue is meh (good and bad about it), the old style questing system is actually great once you get used to it, and the dice roll D&D combat just feels poorly translated to video game form. My mod isn't just a recreation of accurate attack, it does so much more than just set hit chance to 100% and call it a day.

It's not just a dice roll it's a whole equation that if you understand it you can make it so you never miss. Or get hit... Or really any number of things. In short Get Good. The combat system is so much fun when you understand it. The system makes for some of the best roll play options of any of the ES games.

Aos Sie silent night should have had a fatigue buff. Almost the only reason it is there is for the calculations.

Quick note; the combat mod makes the game "accessible" to NON-RPG players, folks who would have previously put it down and moved on. The RPG players never had an issue, even the new ones.

i just bought the game i’ve never played it i started off with skyrim then oblivion and holy fuck lmao i smoke a blunt and play sum morrowind and it’s soooo immersive and is just all in all a real unique gane

game***

I did this my first playthrough, Morrowind was the first RPG I played so I didn't really get it. Defnitely go through and do the main quest, fighters guild, mages guild etc. This game is the best Elder scrolls, I know that's such a throw away line and even I roll my eyes when I say it, but it's true

Eww. I always grinded the starting swamp. By the time you get to the 1st city, you should have some gold from selling ingredients and some levels from bashing critters. The combat ant that hard. And as a thief you could of got the gold to train your weapon or magic skills till your proficient.

It's always that iron dagger too isn't it

Seems some people really like it and others want to rip my voice box out lol.

Even with a full bar the combat is still terrible

​@@user-iu9vr2ce3pBecause your stats are low

​@@user-iu9vr2ce3p it's just a hidden roll system, so basically it's dice rolling values when you swing and your skills being low makes for a lot of misses lol.

yeah that segment is misleading

Brush up on the stat system basics before you give up. It is a bit different from standard D&D and really matters.

Well put. When I say that I guess I was comparing it to some of the older 2D pixel art games that are still just as impressive and beautiful today as they were back then. Morrowind comes from a weird time period when the 3D tech was just starting to get good but wasn't quite there yet. I think early 3D graphics have aged quite poorly in general. They were impressive when they came out but are pretty meh today. The combat system it uses also really isn't used anymore because most people prefer either action or turn based for their RPGs instead of the weird hybrid. That part aged poorly too. I agree that some aspects of the game still hold up even without mods but since there are some major parts that don't, I can't say it aged well. Also I hear people saying that the stock game runs well for them but for me it was awful. Must be hardware specific. On my hardware it would crash when I tab out and sometimes areas would load at 14 FPS.

i find it weird that everyone says that openmw is the way to play and increases performance but regardless of my repeated efforts, openmw runs poorly at best in my pc. this is a 18 YO game, performances issues are barely excusable yet the vanilla game has performances hiccups and openmw performance is just bad for me

@@DrummerGhisi Dang sorry that OpenMW hasn't been working for you. Ive been using OpenMW .46 for months with no problems, instant load times between interiors and exteriors etc. Hope you can get it working my guy, its such a superior experience to the old engine.

Sky Games Piss off

HoMM, Elder Scrolls, SNES games, all hard to Let's Play cause what can you say that's more entertaining than the music?

Yeah, go fuck yourself.

Phew, was beginning to think everyone else except me was crazy. Amazing that like 95% of humans dont understand subjective versus objective here.

Exactly, you can build your character in a way that you will pretty much never miss from the start of the game, unless you play like an idiot and fight without stamina. Combat is Skyrim is actually the same as in Morrowind, the difference is that any mage can grab a sword and kill a dragon with it, it just takes more time that it would for a fighter. In Morrowind without actual skill with a weapon, a warrior sign or high agility your mage will get wrecked by any common bandit if he attempts this. RPG system of Morrowind enforces roleplaying and doesn't allow you to be good at everything at once. You have to specialize and invest time and effort to be something. Not unlike real life.

Thanks! It's unreleased music I made.
