Comments on: Morrowind Mods http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2008/05/30/morrowind-mods/ Utterly random, incoherent and disjointed rants and ramblings... Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:01:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Luke Maciak http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2008/05/30/morrowind-mods/#comment-9303 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:32:06 +0000 http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2008/05/30/morrowind-mods/#comment-9303 <strong>@Biggamer</strong> - I suggest backing up your Data Files directory before applying any patch - just in case. Some of the mods overwrite textures, meshes and other data which may become an issue if you no longer want to use a mod. This way you can then just go back to using the original files. Morrowind is designed to be moddable, so I don't suspect there would be major conflicts between different versions. Some mods may require Blodmoon or Tribunal to work, as they use features they added but in most cases they spell out what you need in the README files. @Biggamer - I suggest backing up your Data Files directory before applying any patch - just in case.

If it is not compatible, it will give you a message when you click in the square to activate the mod. @ Biggamer the mods are always automatically checked against the installed game version.

One question though, will the new mods work well with the TES3 Morrowind GOTY version? Because, that is what I'm using right now... I'd like to try your mods but, I fear that my character or the game version wont support the mods... I'm afraid that the game may crash...

I actually never really went that far, but my brother once beat the game straight through on sort of a speed run, and from what I remember he didn't have to actually advance through ranks of each house - there are missions that let you take over the required position in the house without the need to climb your way up the normal way. But I'm kinda leaving that part of the game for later. :)

As for the Guild paths, I have to check again, but I am afraid the seer mentions <strong>all</strong> Great Houses and the Temple cult (but maybe not all guilds, I don't remember). And as far as I know, but maybe I am not far enough in the game, there is always a way of getting a mission done without screwing up an allegiance. Like in the Warrior Guild first missions, you have to kill Thief Guild members. But you can do it even if you are in the Thief Guild... Luke Maciak said:

The modability is what is truly unusual and shows quite a bit of savvy on the designers' parts. They focus on the "meat" of the system, and release the editing tools to let the community flesh it out post-release. This way, all the people who would normally complain about little things like NPC face variety or lighted windows at night can shut the hell up and easily make a mod. :mrgreen: Is there a mod to make combat turn-based, or at least less dependant on player dexterity? )

For example, the Fighters Guild and Thieves Guild paths are contradictory. So are House Redorand and House Hlaalu I believe. So while you might reach the high rank, you will reach it differently. :) Yeah, but not all of them. For example, the Fighters Guild and Thieves Guild paths are contradictory.
