Although do I REALLY hate the stun system. I don't expect much from elder scrolls games. I only started the main quest line yesterday because I wasn't sure what Caius (or whoever) meant by, 'come back when you've gained notoriety.' I just decided to talk to him again at level 10 and got a quest. I joined the fighter's guild and thieves guild but the quests were so boring mostly just, 'go here and clear out this cave.' or 'go here and steal this thing.' (I never got farther than maybe 6 or so quests in the fighter's guild because my saves corrupted and I wasn't up to playing through them again). But now I'm here asking, 'what is it I'm missing?' I purposefully avoided guides and outside information so I could find the wonder for myself. But over the two characters I played as (maybe 9 or 10 hours of time played) I couldn't find what made it so spectacular in the eyes of so many. I had to restart after the graphics overhaul because saves made before it were corrupted. Okay, finally to my main point! I'm just.not having fun with Morrowind. As I said, graphical glitches everywhere but that was the worst. Enemies could still see perfectly in those pitch black abysses, though, so occasionally I would get hit from somewhere in the darkness and I would have to run back into a lit area so I could see what was attacking me. If I didn't bring a torch I was walking blind checking my map every two seconds to make sure I wasn't walking into a wall. Not just the floor but everything in the area. If there was no light source on specific textures (say a section of a floor or hallway) it would be pitch black. However graphical glitches popped up everywhere. The overhaul made Morrowind look wonderful and actually bumped my fps up to 30 outdoors. My understanding of computers isn't great but I can run skyrim on this laptop on ultra settings at a constant 60fps no matter where I am in the world and no matter what I'm doing so I don't exactly understand how this is an issue. Indoors wasn't an issue with 60fps at all times. The framerate when in outdoor environments even with the sight distance set as low as possible was sub 25fps at all times. AMD Radeon HD 7979 / 2GB GDDR5 graphics card (it's supposed to be one of the best on the market but also affordable) Now before I talk about that overhaul I should say that Morrowind runs terribly on my computer. Eventually settled on the all-in-one graphics and sound overhaul. So I go to the Morrowind page here on giant bomb remembering seeing lists of mods to make it look less awful. $19.00.okay fine I'll buy it and see what's so amazing about it.įirst thoughts: man this game looks like a pile of rancid ass leavings. It didn't really interest me.įast forward six years or so to a bored me staring at Morrowind on Steam. But I never even considered buying it because, well, I had Oblivion. Ever since I picked up Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion I'd heard how amazing Morrowind was.
