TES III: Morrowind - Extreme Modding

[Master Guns]

TES III: Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time. It's a bit old, and age has not been kind to this outdated game graphically. I have installed numerous mods to make my game look better, and want to share them with you for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. I'll throw out a couple of comparison shots first, then I'll have a random screenshot gallery. (Note: if you right click on any modded image and "open image in new tab", you can view it at it's original resolution, 1920x1080)

If you download Morrowind Graphics Extender and Vurt's Ground Cover, you can then add in 3D grass like in Oblivion/Skyrim by using the Distant Land wizard in MGE with Vurt's Ground Cover.

I have MGE installed. That's what this is.

I don't have 3d grass on because it's far too taxing on my machine.

God, I miss this game. One of the best out there, even today.

Seeing those images makes me wanna go back.

Just... just listen to that soundtrack. It's Amazing.

Amazing game and i get goosebumps everytime hearing the theme. First played it alot on xbox before getting pc version. Next playthrough i will mod the shit out of it.

That game really had an amazing world immensely let down by the most shitty gameplay ever. It's amazing how the game's graphics just knows no limit. The more you up the hardware and mod it with better textures and draw distance, the more amazing it becomes. Artistically it blew me away, and technically it was fairly good for its time, too. The animations sucked though, and still do.

Yeah, I'm probably not gonna be popular for saying that in a nostalgia thread, but seriously... that combat system... Gahhh!

Can Skywind please be finished?

For those who don't know, it's a project to convert the entire Morrowind world to the Skyrim engine. Then, disable fast travel and there-you-go! Awesomeness.

Someone else is also making a new game engine for Morrowind called OpenMW - using the original game's data it will be able to play Morrowind. Being open source it will hopefully allow us to update the graphics, animations and gameplay as well as play the game on our favorite Linux distros.

You can customize it a great deal though, and even set lower resolutions for the grass meshes/textures. Personally I only use the distant land feature for generating the grass. My view distance is not much higher than in vanilla Morrowind. The world wasn't designed with a distant view in mind and just looks bad/unimmersive.
