'Morrowind 2011' Mod Done, Gorgeous, Not Quite Available

Though it is, in fact, the year that Skyrim is set to arrive, gamers still got a touch over 10 months of waiting ahead of them. In the interim, they can bide their time with modder Warwon's "Morrowind 2011" mod compendium.

I looks very good. I hope that Skyrim can bring back that awe we had when we first played Morrowind. Oblivion was good, but it lacked the variety of ESIII. Too many dungeons, portals. Not enough original quests. The painter who was trapped in the painting. That was my #1 unmarked sidequest in ES IV: Oblivion. I wich it had more of those WTF moments, also like Tranquility Lane, or Andale's Our Little Secret(Unmarked) in Fallout 3. I hope for those moments in ESV

pangitkqb5610d ago

Looks like an excellent mod. I hope it becomes available soon so I can use it on my own copy of Morrowind.

zeddy5610d ago

water effects look great but everything else still looks llike shit.

Bigpappy5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

This game is a classic in every sense of the word.

Workshyskiver5610d ago

jeez some people disagreed with you. It's a Classic in every sense.

fossilfern5610d ago

why does this guy have 3 disagrees hes speaking the truth! Playing Morrowind brings back many memories :)

Solid_Snake-5610d ago

this is n4g dont forget. playstation 2 didnt get it due to its lack in power thats why your getting dissagrees. sony fans got really hurt when told they wernt getting a version.

oh and the xbox did. that just added the final blow lol.

morrowind is respected by every rpg gamer including me. i played the xbox version and just recently bought it for pc. and now with the 2011 mod its gonna be even sweeter.

Hazmat135610d ago

it would be cool if morrowind was a full game to download at the PStore and XboxLive.

HeavenlySnipes5610d ago

How people do this? How do they manage to mod games to have better graphics than the Devs could create??

Pandamobile5610d ago

Because when you mod a game, you can disregard system requirements, and all that stuff.

Plus this game is like 8 years old. The devs had to aim for 2002 hardware when they made it.

HeavenlySnipes5610d ago

but they (by they I mean some random people) made the game look WAYYY better than some current games made by ACTUAL developers.

Pandamobile5610d ago

Again, they can disregard system requirements and just make something look as good as possible.

Downtown boogey5610d ago

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, SNIPES!!!

hassi945610d ago

I doubt this game looks anyway near as good as 99% of games releasing today, even with the mods, you're over exaggerating.

But, anyway:

1. Developers have deadlines and they need to do other things apart from graphics
2. The modders have hindsight in graphics-design choices that have been proved bad by other games that have come out in that time
3. The technology they are modding these games for are much newer than that of the computers that were directed when the game first came out.
4. They can make the game look at good as they want while most developers have to try cater to a wide audience (low-end PCs).

Also plenty of other reasons, I'm sure.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777278d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher277d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989278d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot278d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake278d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86277d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.
