Sidetrack : Mods and Uglies

Ok, so first thing people notice with morrowind, unfortunately, is the fact that the character models do not reach the same standard as games do today. This does put some players off as it doesnt look brilliant watching a guy with a segmented body walk around, it looks disturbing.

There are several things a player can do (on the PC) to improve this. What I did was download a mod, called Better Bodies, for Morrowind. This mod changes the character meshes so they look more like Oblivions, smooth and without segments. It also acts as a nudity mod, but I digress.

Below are some shots of before and after the mod.

As you can see, the bodies on the left have the mod installed, the ones on the right do not. Vast improvement and people are running out of reasons on why they don't play this game.

  10. If only my PC could handle a good game. Unfortunately, it can't, but whatever. I've got a DS!

    Not that that's much of a consolation...

  11. Probably the most essential mod for Morrowind, playing it for 3 years with it and I cant even look at vanilla Morrowind without looking away in horror.

  12. I could never get into this game because my friend who loved it explained to me that you could play every day of your life and not see all the stuff in the game. I just cant do that, sorry....

    Looks cool though, definitely is the type of game i like to play!

  16. I have a friend that has been modding this stuff for years. It's really a good game, but time consuming.
