Hello and welcome to Morrowind's version of Character's Update!

Here you can write about what your characters are doing on Vvardenfell, Solstheim or in Mournhold. It's not an actual fanfic thread, but I'm not forbidding anything.


My Morrowind character is hibernating so to speak. He's a Nord called Karl the Northener who lives on Solstheim where he takes up residence in Thirsk Meadhall. He mostly wanders around fighting whatever attacks him while collecting various things to either sell or keep.

Well let's see if he has better luck on the Island.

Careful. Karl went to check it out and he´s never come back...

Been back to Solstheim a couple of times now doing the same thing I always do; running around killing stuff, collecting what they drop and sell.


That´s some heavy RP right there, I tell ya..

One of the (few) things I liked about Skyrim was that instead of just killing bandits/collecting loot/and selling the loot - you could also mine ore/collect pelts/cook meals while out on the trail/go to foges/smelters/workbenches and turn the ore and pelts into weapons and armor/and sell those!!! A lot less repetitive!

Well you can mine ore here too, just not as much I guess. And you can´t convert it into anything.. But I have collected over 40 samples of the ore from Raven Rock

Because my disk crashed some time ago and I lost all saves of my Nordic Nerevarine Haryon, I decided to conclude his story. I have some saves left but they date way back, when he wasn't even doing the main quest and returning to his game seems kinda pointless after he achieved so much. So today I wrote a short conclusion to his adventures on the first page but I'll also copy it here:

Haryon settled down in the Urshilaku Camp, together with Ashlanders that were his prime teachers in becoming the Nerevarine. Adventurers that passed the Urshilaku Camp, often told stories of a barefoot bearded Nord walking amongst the Ashlanders like he was one of them. For he was, because the Ashlanders called him "brother". However, what happened to Haryon in the Red Year, when the Red Mountain erupted, scorched almost entire Vvardenfell and thus killed most of the island population, is not known. The most possible claim is that in the fifth year of the fourth era Haryon the Nerevarine passed away.

So what does that mean, that Haryonbecame Nerevarine? .. Sorry to ask, but I'm new here. I've never played Morrowind. Glad to meet you, my name is Renne. Anyway, I assume this means that Haryon did something grand for the Dunmer?

It means that my toon Haryon beat da main qu3zt. Just as Dragonborn is the supposed protagonist in Skyrim and Champion of Cyrodiil in Oblivion, so is Nerevarine in Morrowind.

Got back in Morrowind. Looking for some mods to enhance the game, graphically speaking

Have fun!


Got a character idea?

I played it for a short stint before going to that Skyrim modding class. I used:


1) a mod to enhance all character's appearances
2) a mod that gave all the characters a much better walk - MUCH better. Unfortunately, the run was still obnoxious if you were in 3rd person, I changed to 1st person every time I ran just to keep from cringing.
3) a mod that fixed the fighting - it did a fantastic job, the fighting was so much better with it!
4) a body mod so the body didn't look like a wooden marrionette


I really loved Morrowind a lot - had trouble keeping up with quests because there is no journal, but the ones I lost track of eventually caught back up with me.

Here is Misa in Morrowind:

Here's a thread that might help: Rediscovering Morrowind.

Thanks! Mirocu, I believe a warrior character.

Malx I believe I did download that character mod before long ago before the laptop broke. But it was nowhere near as good as what you showed... The rest though I never downloaded. I want to download them but first I have to install the mods. I forgot how hehe. I'm such an amateur when it comes to mods.

Grits, I'll be there in thread

Always before adding any mods, make a copy of your Data folder and keep it as a backup so if any mod you add messes something up you can go back to a clean install.

If you installed it at the default location it wiill be something like C:/ Program Files (or Program Files X86) / Bethesda Softworks / Morrowind / Data.

Save it somewhere safe (I put mine in either Video, Music, or Documents) and name it something clear like "Morrowind Data File Backup." You don't need a copy of the official game files if hard drive space is tight on your laptop; but at least copy every other folder in the Data file to the back-up.


You will need something like 7-Zip to open the mod after downloading. Once that is installed:

Right click on the mod file, click on 7-Zip, extract files - yes. It will open a copy of the mod in a separate folder.

I always keep an exact copy of all mods I'm using, so at this point you can move that zipped folder into wherever you want to keep the mods you have installed; (the zipped folder won't be needed anymore, everything you need now is in the open folder copy of the mod). I normally keep a folder for each game; like "Morrowind Installed Mods," "Fallout 3 Installed Mods," etc.

Now go to that open mod folder and look inside. If there is a read me - read it and follow it. If there isn't a read me, this is the general instructions:

Any ESP, ESM, or BSA files go into the Morrowind Data folder.

If there are any meshes or texture folders they also go into the Morrowind Data folder but will need merging:

When prompted to merge, say yes. The files may then ask permission for over-writing some original files, say yes. (remember, you have your back-up of the original Data folder to go back to if you don't like a change you've made).

If you have the Morrowind Mod Manager or Nexus Mod Manager, it should automatically add the new mods; but if you don't you will have to activate them.

Go to the Morrowind folder (C:/ Program Files (or Program Files X86) / Bethesda Softworks / Morrowind ); find this:

MorrowindLauncher.exe


Double Click it to open, then when it opens click on "Data Files." Find the mod you just added and click on it to place a check in front of it. "Okay," then Exit.

You will need to activate any mods you have added unless you use a manager.


Play!

As December has set in I have returned to Karl the Northener on Solstheim. Nothing much happened. A few fights with some Rieklings and stuff sold and bought down at Raven Rock.

Pretty fun to get back

Karl woke up from hibernation. Where does he live, BTW? I know that you get your own house if you pursue some questline but since you're not much of a quest-doer...

He lives at Thirsk Meadhall which he has done from the moment he set foot in the place. I know I can get him his own house via mod and I have thought about adding it, but I think he likes being around the others

Ooh, nice place! But not as nice as Misa's modded houses in Seyda Neen and Balmora. Nyaahaa!

Maybe so, but Misa doesn´t have snow outside

no, she does not have snow, lol.
