Morrowind-in-Skyrim Video Shows Modders' Impressive Progress

The team of Elder Scrolls fans working on Skywind—the project bringing Morrowind into the series' most modern engine—released their first development video yesterday. It's five breathtaking minutes of the massive effort needed to properly bring a beloved 12-year-old game into present day.

As a huge Morrowind fan (I still think Morrowind is the best TES game ever made and one of the best IF not the best RPGs ever made) you cannot even imagine how much I anticipate this total convention. Maybe when Skywind will finally be completed I'll stop modding the hell out of Morrowind. This is seriously the most anticipated game for me (even if it's a mod) of 2014. I'll just would like to thank all those people who make this mod come true. Thank you.

Have you ever tried Morroblivion? That's another total conversion they've done, but obviously with Oblivion instead.

I was having a look at it yesterday, seems to be fairly complete, but from what I've read there's still some work to do in places. I might try it out later, see what it's like.

DxTrixterz3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

I've heard about it but never tried it because I don't really like Oblivion anyway. I use Morrowind Overhaul which does it's job very good. Also even right now I'm modding Morrowind and I'm trying to solve conflicts within mods (I've got 119 plugins so far) and some mods I've installed are Morrowind Comes Alive, Children of Morrowind, Morrowind Rebirth, Tamriel Rebuild, Silgrad Tower, Sea of Destiny, some extra weapon packs, some face and head packs. I've got a lot and my Morrowind folder is like 12GB now.

I actually pretty much played through Morroblivion, it was excellent except for a few minor bugs. Skywind looks to be even better.

DoctorJones3854d ago

Good to hear Cernunnos, I'll have to give it a whirl then.

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder53d ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Popsicle52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

anast52d ago

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

Smellsforfree52d ago

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast112d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian229112d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko112d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
