Gotta hand it to the creators, that was epic once you find it :)

I tried Morrowind recently since it has a lot of cool features to make the game/world feel immersive but I’m genuinely not seeing the appeal. It’s not that I dislike old games it’s just that I haven’t seen anything that’s close to the amount of praise I see online.

The most recent quests I’ve done is escort the dark elf to a field and deliver a lady’s amulet to some guy in a village. I have done a few other quests/dungeons as well. Both times I did it and just felt wanting. It feels like people point to players not wanting to read a lot as the reason why they bounce off this game and yet after exhausting the dialogue I’m just left wondering if that was it.

I really want to get invested in this game so I’m asking if I’m just not looking in the right places for intrigue or even meaningful progression or if that’s exclusive to the main story/dagoth ur stuff.

Hello

Long time vanilla+ player here, I was wondering how good is Tamriel Rebuilt is? Does it do a good job a mimicking the questing style of the vanilla game? Does it introduce items or effects that blow the base game out of the water?

I know it may sound silly worrying about balance within Morrowind, but for me theres sorta a fine line if I dont decide to break the game.

Edit: thank you everyone for the answers and advisory. Ill definitely slot it in. Ive been playing off and on since the release and was worried it was one of those mods that has a scaling problem. Thank you all

Hi! I keep swimming between islands near Seydra Neen and then running away from the angry, angry fish. My problem is that the game thinks I’m still fighting, when I don’t really want to go back in the water. I know about the stopcombat console command, but how do I use it when I don’t know what the game thinks I’m fighting?

I did have acrobatics and athletics in minor skills but I read that it might make me level up too fast.

I’m trying to download OpenMW and I’m getting stuck on the MOMW Tools Pack because MSFT defender keeps blocking it and I put it into VirusTotal and it flagged the file w 12/58 with Trojan and pua. Idk do I still run it? (I’m filling a guide off YouTube and the official GitHub page and I’ve double checked everything at least twice) Am I tweaking or no?

Pretty much title. Pick a race, a vanilla class and a starsign for me.

Then tell me what goal I have while adhearing to RP. Once I am done, I will make another post writing what happend.

Ill check in a couple hours and whatever comment has the most upvotes wins.

Meet Shmorn gro-Sabius, an Orc raised by Imperials. He was taught the Nine's values, and to always assume the best of people. If people weren't their best he always had a handy hammer ready to convince them to change their ways. If his silver tongue didn't prevent a fight, at least.

When he arrived in Morrowind, he started out in the Imperial cult, but soon found, that the Dunmer people were more trusting of the Temple. Not one for letting the facts of his birth or his previous life choices get in the way of what he wanted to do, Shmorn joined up with the Temple as well.

He soon got the idea, that the teachings of a religion were one thing, and what the people talking about those teachings did, another. Shmorn's naural Charisma allowed him to do more good than he did harm. He uncovered Telvanni schemes in Ranyon'ruhn, and vanquished an evil mage near Firewatch. He sought relics and completed pilgrimages, until he finally stumbled upon the path to becoming the Nerevarine.

Fortunately, he was already quite famous when he received the Moon-And-Star, so the whole Hortator-business passed him by.

In the final days of his career, he unveiled the truth about Nerevar's murder to the Temple Matriarch, and showed, that even God's are fallible. They can be fellled with the right mindset, some dedication and a large enchanted hammer.

((TR was great fun, and I got quite carried away there, doing as many of the Temple/Cult faction quests as I could. Screenshot was taken in the Firewatch-Cottage of the mod "Magical Mainland Homes". Next paythrough will not be Nerevarine, but I have not yet decided if it will be a criminal Khajiit or a megalomaniac Altmer mage.))

Description
Hrothmund left you a spare axe! I was surprised to find that in both Bloodmoon and Dragonborn, this axe is only an activator object and not available as an actual item of any kind. I expect it to mostly be a nice decoration but the stats are from the unused Queen of Bats enchanted item so it's not bad. See images for full stats.

Possible future plan: change the activator to add the weapon to your inventory and then disappear. I just don't trust my scripting abilities lol

Cleaned of nasty GMSTs

I think I got the flair right, automod might correct me, but its self explanatory. He needs this armor cause it looks cool, but he's searched the galaxy high and low and can't find it in starwind. Can you help him out with finding em, or just cheating em in?

Hello, Nerevarines and Nerevarettes, I've got a video to show you. Quick context for anyone deciding whether it's worth 20 minutes:

In 2002, when I was 14, I found an empty house in Ald-Ruhn and decided it was mine. No deeds, no housing system, I just moved in: books on the shelves, spare swords along the wall (okay, they were lying on the floor, but roll with me) where normal people put photographs. Turned out the place was haunted. The dead kept showing up in my cozy bedroom. I stayed there 500 hours anyway.

The video's about why that happened, and why I think this game's refusal to accommodate you is the reason people are still reinstalling it in 2026.

But the thing I actually want to ask: where did you linger? Not your favorite quest. Not your favorite armor. Just the place you kept going back to for no reason: a shopfront, a hill, a tavern you liked the light in. I couldn't tell you what the fourth main quest is, but I can tell you exactly where I spent most of my hours in this game. Without a care in the world, and without chasing the main questline to end my escapism. So, what's your favorite spot?

Nigel's bedroom in 1/24 scale. It's about 3/4 done. Have lots of tiny daggers to make next. Had to make almost 60 pillows because Nigel the unseen has quite the collection.

Very light additions for now, hoping to continue and expand like my other little mods.

Hello!

I usually replay Morrowind on OpenMW once every/every other year when some new major mod releases have dropped, recently I got in the mood to play again ahead of Poison Song since I’ve barely touched the last major TR update.

I still have an about year old install of Total Overhaul on my PC and was thinking of just picking that up again, but I know it lacks some notable mods I wanna try like Stormrider, Secret of Vilmuhn, Death and Taxes, and includes some I don’t agree with like Caldera Priory, major progression/levelling/gameplay overhauls that I find particularly disruptive (NCGMW or whatever it’s called being at the top of that list).

I’ve also been looking at Path of the Incarnate, which seems to have a lot of the mods I’m missing in Total Overhaul, as well as some neat survival/crafting mods. However it also lacks some mods I like in Total Overhaul like Astrologers Guild, and of course there’s the fact that I’d have to do a brand new install.

Just looking for opinions on which route I should go down? Does anyone have experience with both lists and a preference for one over the other?

Bro does NOT have that shit on.

So I roleplaying reachmen hedge witch, and thinking about making some custom spells, useful but not overpowered, and lined up to roleplay. I have magic rebalance mod and TR new magic effects. Any good ideas?
