Ok. I'm going to hopefully go out today, and if I can find the PC for around 20 dollars (10 less than normal), I'll pick it up. What sort of things can you do? Is it easy to mod, or..?
And how many mods can you do? Can you mix and match? And Big John, BP and DGB, congrats, you've convinced me. ~;)
to mod morrowind, you basically just download the mods and place the esm or esp files in the data folder. there are a couple of tools you will need, most likely. one if the leveled list merger, the other is the testool (see here and here). check this too: http://www.rpgplanet.com/morrowind/m...installing.asp
many major mods will have conflicts with each other, although the leveled list merger can eliminate many of those (the testool's cleaning feature is a must too). any mods that overhaul the same things like 'darker morrowind' and 'vibrant morrowind' (both change the textures of almost the whole game) are not compatible.
i concurrently ran upwards of 150 mods when i last played morrowind, though i did have a few minor conflicts. just peruse the databases which i linked and see what appeals to you. read about the mods and sometimes they'll tell you explicitly which mods it won't work with.
I just got the game for Xbox, used for half the price I saw PC used. The box was deffinetly Game of the Year, but I'm worried since the manual and I think the CD didn't mention anything about Game of the Year... Does anyone know if the CDs are identical to the original one?
Uhm, WOW seems apropiate here. Will it be for xbox ~DQuote:

uh, i don't know because i got the game for free bundled with my vid card, and my friend sold me tribunal and bloodmoon for 5 bucks. i would think the goty edition would be 2 or three separate CDs. there's quite a bit of info on the expansion cds. i think you should have the regular morrowind cd and then one or two others. can you return it?Quote:

Mine says platinum hits, which the ame of the year should be, but it never mentions Game of the Year on it, just says Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind... I think I've been bamboozled.
do you see the words "tribunal" or "bloodmoon" anywhere on the cd?
You have, the platinum hits edition of Morrowind has platinum letters on a black background. GOTY edition has a black background with gold lettering and game of the year edition in big letters. I'll steal my Dad's digital camera and post some pics of the my GOTY game box and disk.Quote:

I really like it so far. I'm a Wood Elf assassin, though I am having a bit of trouble rembering all the names of places that people mention...
Yes, it is vast and the place names do seem almost like they came from random word generators. Did you get a paper map with the game? That's surprisingly accurate and helpful. I bought the strategy guide and its maps are really useful when dealing with minor quests etc. I guess the web has some handy walkthrus and maps if you get stuck.Quote:

Going easy on the Longbottom Leaf will also help with remembering ~;).
~D
Yeah, I did get the map, once I traded it in for the correct one. And scouts do help. I have a question... even though I'm an assassin, can I still join this thieves guild this odd cat is part off? She gave me a book, and said I was her friend or something... Would this interfere if I later want to join an assassin's guild, or can I have multiple memberships?
And Toga, I've only done it once. ~;)
Starting out like you are you can join any group. There are only a few groups that are openly hostile and as you level up threw them eventually there is a cut off and you can't progress any farther, you have to choos one. The one exception to that are the great houses you can only join one. Also joining the assassins guild is a quest in and of itself. You see to join the assassins guild you have to find the grandmaster, only he can give you a test to join. Thing is he's hiding, IIRC the entrance to his lair is in a closet in one of the cantons of Vivec. BTW since you have GOTY edition as soon as you hit level 6 and rest you'll be attacked, you can't avoid this it's the lead in for Tribunal but the assassin is keyed to level so you can beat him and you get his keen assassins light armour (extremely low weight and high defense).
The thing is though I know that tribunal is suposed to exapand the map somehow but how is that done and when should install tribunal to make it work?
What if I go to that city before installing tribunal what then?
:help:
You can't get to Mournhold before installing tribunal. I would recomend installing it once you hit about level 10, for reasons which I wont mention because they would spoil it.Quote:

But I will :evil:, there called Goblins. Plus you'll need to be like level 40 to even entertain the idea of beating, you know who in you know where. :duel:Quote:

I'll probably get the new one, once it comes out for PC... And yeah, I hope it does play as well as it looks.
Morrowind was and is still a great game. Freedom of choice, large handcrafted landscapes, high density of lore, heavily moddable make it stand above the crowd. A steril enviroment and some bugs and balance issues - weak magic - take something away.
When the devs build up it's strenghtes and cancel the weaknesses I will buy this game - if I have enough spare time.... :book:

Oblivion has been demonstrated at E3. You can read about it here:

get the hi def movie.

AWESOME trailer. This game looks gorgeous, it seems a bit darker then morrowind, good. If they can make the world seem more alive this will kick the derriere of every rpg out there. Loved morrowind despite it's flaws, cannot wait for a bigger and better more of the same.
I never finished the 1st one,
Just kept making more mods,
ended up trying to remake ankh morpork from the diskworld novels,
Then it became a dunting task, lol,
Terry pratchet made ankh morpork Extreemly complex and maze like,
then trying to add all the charicters too including death and all the little deaths that spawned from Him became overwhelming,
Then there were the shiping lanes for Moving to and from places.
So i finaly let the game rest lol,
Still, never actualy finished that 1
