With this you can run many more mods at the same time with much less danger of conflicts and it even includes a function to clean your save games of any errors that creep in during play with multiple mods.

There is a way around this, it is a free third party tool called Wrye Mash. So Morrowind's modding problem was that it overwrites previous mods in the loadlist order, which limits how many you can have running without conflict. So this is a good half-way house for current gamers to get to experience, with the various improved graphics texture packs etc you can get it looking pretty good, certainly more acceptable than the 320x200 of Daggerfall It is to my mind the weakest of the TES games(i have played them all, Arena included), that is all. In many ways it is symptomatic of what is wrong with the majority of current AAA game production. I don't hate Oblivion, i was dissapointed by it and didn't enjoy it as the TES game i thought it would be. If you liked/like it, great - just don't think I ever will or that I'm even slightly interested in mentioning it again. If you understand the pedigree of the guys rpg background, and read between the lines well you will know why I feel Oblivion is the ugly relative in the TES games. This is an interesting interview with Ken Rolston (former design Lead of Morrowind, and ex Bethesda designer) around the release of Oblivion:

Plus it is chock full of incredibly bad game design that forced me to uninstall and sell my game after a few months of trying to make it what it should have been and failing you just can’t mod it to the same extent as Morrowind, and some of the design is hard-coded: spoken voice npc's(makes making new quests difficult)/broken trading system and mechanism/many console based UI problems that 'gimp' the PC version/smaller world/less stats/more combat/less crpg etc etc. Oblivion is a melee fps game with a few limited crpg conventions tacked on the back of it imho. In Morrowind (and the other TES games) you ‘hit’ only based on your stats with that weapon that is crpg combat. Yes in Oblivion you ‘hit’ your enemy each time you see that you do – it is not crpg combat, it is fps twitch action combat, it has no real relation to your characters skill. It plays differently it reduces rpg complexity in favour of lush twitch fps visuals and is more like a ‘Diablo’ than either Arena, Daggerfall or Morrowind. Now I will post a quick note on Oblivion. Still 15-20 mods sound ok, but out of the thousands out there it is difficult picking just 15-20, especially when you have around 300 seriously good quality mods to choose from. So this can be a big stumbling block, and with experimentation you can normally run about 15-20 mods max (depending on the mods) before something breaks something else. Not completely, but if they both handle data of the same type in the same place the latter mod will take precedent. So modding up Morrowind seemed like a good idea, to tweak the things I liked most and least in the default game.īut this is not fraught without peril (beware adventurer, what danger lies lurking ahead?), as Morrowind deals with mods in a sequential manner, what mod loads last overrides what mod precedes it. So Morrowind came next in the TES series, again I came late to it, first playing it on an xbox about a year after release, then getting the GOTY edition on PC, and while it reduced the overall ambition set out in Daggerfall, it delivered a more finite but detailed world and improved the overall playing experience with better graphics, nice design (if terribly exploitable!) and the advantage of having the PC version is getting access to all the thousands (I kid you not) of free mods that people have made for the game. It is also virtually impossible to Mod (very low base stability+no real tools to help). Still Daggerfall is old-school, 320x200 resolution in 256 colours, with a fairly clunky UI, difficult/impossible to run well on modern hardware/OS and many of today’s gamers can't get over those 'issues'(more shame them!).

Daggerfall is my personal favourite of TES, and I dedicated a big fat thread to it on poly years back. I've been playing one character on and off for over 6 years now and haven’t even started the main quest line (other than the important starting bit you 'have' to do to keep it open). Daggerfall was the first TES game I played, and coming to it late I could enjoy a reasonably stable game and fell in love with the crpg system and wide open gameplay. Intro: Why play Massively Modded Morrowind(MMMorrowind)? EDIT: Work in Progress(99.9% complete) - most info i'm happy with, but when i'm done this notice will change to 'Final version' so you know it's complete and updated etc.
