Yet Another Morrowind Thread

Never liked MacKom's...

it's this https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/50093

This looks like one of the TR heads.

Used to have mackoms heads when i was graphic-whoring in mid 2010s. Argonian heads were never finished.

 

[Fargus]

Familiar faces is quality shit. What it does is fixing the mongoloid head shape and psycho facial expressions while staying true to the original design. It also makes hair look less like it's just dirt smeared on character's head.

 

[janior]

hm yeah i think you're right, i like those TR build heads/hair options they look p neat

 

[Fargus]

I use TR Data without the land. Rogues Gallery is a nice little mod that adds scumbag variations of TR heads (scars, jewelry, damaged eyes) to the bandits in the game to make some of them stand out. There are multiple mods that need just TR data including BCOM.

For faces I prefer Facelift (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47617) just because it's a bit more true to vanilla but Familiar Faces are awesome as well

In fact what you should do is use caleb's mod as base and then add this one higher in the priority list. So that way you get the head meshes and hairstyle fixes of caleb's mod, but with face textures of Facelift

In fact... MET/IT > FF > Facelift > Vanilla-flavoured Hair (in that order)

Spoiler

MET vs IT: to me, MET feels a bit more vanilla-style, IT has a bit of a painterly feel

luj1 is that OpenMW?

Yes. I am seriously considering migrating to OpenMW.

Welcome to the club

 

[luj1]

btw if anyone wants to emulate OpenMW's volumetric fog (and lighting) in vanilla engine with MWSE, try Vapourmist + Distant Lights

 

[Socrates]

This guy for reference does a great job of showcasing a lot of Morrowind mods. He has tons of content to pour through if you have a particular mod you are looking for.

[luj1]

Yeah I know DarkElfGuy... his channel is highly useful to see a particular mod in action

Here he covered a mod I did with Caeris (timestamped):

 

[Socrates]

Oh shit, I didn't know you were doing mods yourself. Have you made any others or just roleplay options?

 

[Fargus]

MWSE mod i mentioned before in this thread. Impact Sounds.

Also cooking system in Ashfall mod, reminds me of Arx Fatalis

 

[Socrates]

That impact sounds mod is very cool. I will add it to my load order.

Morag Tong Polished and After the Blight (with Caeris)

MWSE mod i mentioned before in this thread. Impact Sounds.

This is an amazing mod, yes. I cant believe we didn't have that sooner

This guy is a good Russian modder, I actually use other mods of his as well...

PvP - improves AI, enemies fight almost like real players
Nwah Shooter - adds realistic gravity for arrows, shaking hands when pulling the string, arrows stay in objects and ground.
Bombadier - actually adds primitive physics to spells, which is crazy

 

[Socrates]

Dude made a mod so that he could launch N'wahs into the stratosphere.

 

[luj1]

Also cooking system in Ashfall mod, reminds me of Arx Fatalis

I don't like Ashfall or Merlord's mods in general, he is the master of feature bloat... not my thing but respect

however your vid reminded me of animated kwama eggs mod:

 

[luj1]

Dude made a mod so that he could launch N'wahs into the stratosphere.

the best part is that it scales with magic skill...

 

[luj1]

New mod came out

 

[Fargus]

This is a must have shit for battlemage. And of course it's not for openMW

 

[luj1]

And of course it's not for openMW

Yeah. OpenMW is in the minority.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

And of course it's not for openMW

Yeah. OpenMW is in the minority.

They sit in the back of the bus.

 

[Fargus]

And of course it's not for openMW

Yeah. OpenMW is in the minority.

I looked a bit but i have not seen any even basic quick cast mods for openmw...

 

[luj1]

Well like someone said, OpenMW is still behind of MWSE in terms of functionality... MSWE allows for some intricate gameplay mods.

OpenMW just easier to setup and gets you nice graphics with less hustle

 

[janior]

New mod came out

those sword sound effects are quite obnoxious to say the least

 

[luj1]

Old mod but good
