This is something that does not exactly fit anywhere. But this seems as good/bad a place as any, so why not?

For those who do not know, Morroblivion is a modding project for Oblivion. It recreates Morrowind using the Oblivion game. Basically, it is a series of mods for Oblivion, that add Vvardenfell, and all the quests and characters from Morrowind. You have to own both Oblivion and Morrowind to use it.

TES Renewal is where you can find Morroblivion, as well as other cross-game projects like Skywind and Skyblivion.

You can download the core Morroblivion mod files Here. There are also links to a handful of other mods you will need to run it, like OBSE, Elys Silent Voice, etc...

There are a number of optional mods you can use that come bundled in with the main pack, like an improved map.

There are also some standalone mods people have made for Morroblivion. You can find most of them with a search on Morroblivion on the Nexus. You can also find a list of mods here as well, but a lot of the links are old and now broken.


Morroblivion Improved - makes some improvements to the game world, adding more buildings, landscape effects, and so on. Basically it makes the world seem less empty.

Gilniths shack for Morroblivion - this allows you to officially move into Gilnith's shack after you do the Tax Collector quest in Seyda Neen. I had trouble with this. After taking ownership I was away for a few days. I came back to find that I was no longer the owner, and it was considered stealing for me to get my stuff out of the chest inside. So don't use it.

Portal To Vvardenfell - Automatically gives you a spell that creates a portal between the Morroblivion game world and the regular Oblivion game world. Very handy for going back to Oblivion to pick up modded items that have been placed in containers in the Imperial City or such places in Cyrodiil. Or to buy modded spells from mod-added NPCs, and stuff like that.



Because it uses the Oblivion engine, it plays just like Oblivion does. You use the Oblivion face generator to create your character. It has the Oblivion skills and spell system. It levels up like Oblivion. It uses the same animations as Oblivion.

But it has new meshes for all the Morrowind items and such, like buildings, ships, and so on. It has the Morrowind plants, though alchemy still works the same say it did in Oblivion (since the Oblivion game engine). The music is the Morrowind music, which is really nice. They even kept the original Morrowind voices for many, if not all characters. You need the Silent Voice mod because not everything is voiced, so sometimes you will just get text when you talk to people. But the generic greetings are in the Morrowind voice actors.

There are also Morrowind-style weapons and armor, like Chitin and Netch Leather armor, Nordic Ringmail, and so on. The Imperial Armor is the Morrowind style, except for the shields, which are the standard Oblivion Imperial shields.

It really feels like playing Morrowind, but without the less than stellar graphics and awful animations.



I have been playing January in Morroblivion for a few days now. She has been exploring the area around Seyda Neen, and is living in Gilnith's Shack (she completed the tax collector quest and killed Gilnith). Today she swam out to Fort Firemoth, and has been battling her way through the hordes of skeletons outside. She now has just over 1700 iron arrows that she took off of dead skeleton archers.

I am not sure if Firemoth has a quest that you are supposed to start in Seyda Neen by talking to the guy in the Census Office or not. I will have to go back and check.

Beautiful sunset. And Jan’s pose is great as well – must be part of your Ob stable of mods as I’ve seen it before in your Ob shots from the past.

Oh, and Jan’s cooking!

A postcard? Gosh, not even a Dwemer t-shirt?

This looks bad

Dagoth Ur

Powering up

By Azura!

Jan is getting off to a rocky start with this one

I visited Dwemerland and all I got was this lousy t shirt



I just finished the Morroblivion main quest. It was difficult, because of the quest structure itself. Apparently I missed a dialogue option with the Urshilaku Wise Woman, and because of that it did not advance the main quest. I did not realize this, because the way the quests have been working, when you finish one, it does not automatically start the next quest in the line. You have to remember where you have to go to start the next quest.

So I just did that. And it did not start the next quests. So I started them with the console. By the time I realized I may have missed some dialogue with the Wise Woman, I had finished the next couple of rounds. Then I went back and talked to her, and found the dialogue options I had missed. That pushed things forward.

So that got me to the point where I have to talk to the Arch Canon to talk to Vivec. She told me to come back when I had become the Hortator. Which I had already done. I had to go back to the Wise Woman, go through some more dialogue, and go back to the Arch Canon. She told me the same thing. Then I found another dialogue option for her, where she acknowledged I was the Hortator, and finally sent me on. Grrr.

So January finally met Vivec, and he gave January Wraithguard. I was not sure what I was going to do next, vis a vis Vivec. My last character to do Morrowind was Persephone, and she is not the forgiving sort. She did not hesitate to kill him. But January is a nice person. She does not expect people to be perfect. But even she could not forgive Vivec for living. So she killed him. It was a great fight. The hardest in the game.

Afterward she found what was listed as a Unique Dwemer Artifact in Vivec's chamber. So she picked it up. From there I learned it was part of an optional quest where you could kill Vivec and go to Yagrum Bagarn and have him turn the artifact into Wraithguard. But I already had Wraithguard. I did try talking to Yagrum, and that started his quest. That is when I found out that the Wraithguard that Vivec had given me before I killed him was working fine. So in the end I used the console to force that quest to end.

Then I was off to Dagoth Ur. But the door was sealed off. I could not see anyway to open it. There were no more quests to do. So I had to use the noclip command to get to the door and go inside. After doing my business and destroying the giant robot, I found the way out was likewise blocked off. Again I had to noclip to get out. Oi!

Yowser, that's a lot of skellies!

A rock astronaut?

Hey, we recognize that moon and star lady in the distance.

I was wondering if the backpath was included in Morroblivion. Glad to see that it was.

*Cue strands of Jimi Hendrix* 'Let me stand next to your fire!'

Oh be still your beating heart. . . .

Azura looks quite a bit like the last time Buffy saw her.

*Cue more music* 'Blue skies, nothing but blue skies do I see.'

I finished Tribunal yesterday. It is my first time ever doing it. It was kind of blah. The writing really makes no sense. You are prompted to go there when Dark Brotherhood assassins start coming after you. There you find that it was King Helseth who sent them. So then the game expects you to A - Kill Helseth or B- do a bunch of quests to protect him and his rule.

Naturally the game goes with option B. Riiight.

Then it is the same with Almalexia. The only way to advance through the main quest of Tribunal is to work for her. Nevermind that she and the other members of the Tribunal murdered you in a past life in order to steal the power of Lorkhan and make themselves false gods. I didn't kill Vivec and Dagoth Ur just to give Almalexia and Sotha Sill a free pass. I only went there to kill them both and finish the job.



I have not done Bloodmoon, but I don't think I will. I have done it a couple of times in Morrowind already. Instead I think it is time to move to regular Oblivion with a new character.

Tribunal’s downfall was that it came after Morrowind; hard to beat that story.
I too felt the same about Tribunal plot line. Save let Vivec live only to execute Almlexia; made no sense at all. That’s why I went back to Vivec City and killed Vivec. Now the two stories have balance.

In my latest play through of Morrowind/Tribunal I used Antares' Tribunal Main Quest mod (good mod btw), which poses the opposite dilemma. Why kill Vivec and let Almalexia live? Well there was a reason but it felt odd.

‘Fabricants attack!’ is very cool. Crazy looking critter.

Google? Heck, what does her PipGirl say about getting around in there? Oh. . . nvm.

Sotha Sil has seen better days, methinks.

In the end there could be only one. Pretty good, considering Jan’s a pale-skinned, round-eared outlander.

Something I forgot to mention which I really liked about Tribunal, is that in a couple places is fortells the Oblivion Crisis. More than one character prophecies a coming apocalypse when the gates of Oblivion would be thrust open, and armies of the deadra would spill forth to bring an end to the world. So clearly at the point where they were writing Tribunal, they had the basic plot of Oblivion figured out.

Now I finally found the right thread for these pics. Sorry folks! It's not a bird, it's not a plane... yep.

First Hauk went to Vivec. Vivec is vast!

Also from the upper level.

Also at night (this is a bit scary, but Hauk is brave, although he's not fond of big cities).

This is positively weird (he had to rub his eyes a few times, but no, it isn't a trick of light).

Business in Vivec completed, he continued on to Suran. Nice and leafy!

With lovely views of the mountains.

Set on a riverbank.

Lovely views inside as well.

Notes for Caius. (There is absolutely NO skooma in Suran! Never mind what's behind me.)

The next morning it's time to go home, passing by the Ules Manor.

A shortcut to Balmora through the fringe of Molag Amur.

Clouds gathering over Fort Moonmoth.

This is just creepy.

Got the notes that Caius wanted... But should he wake him up?

Sheesh, what happened here? Caius says to keep a lid on those disturbing dreams... Perhaps Hauk isn't the only one having them.

Fighting undead is not without consequences. Let's hope a good night's sleep will cure it, or else... Hmm...

Your Morrowind looks great, all 'Blivioned' up. Buffy's only visited in the 2nd Era, but it looks very familiar.

Morroblivion is looking great, chest tats and all!

Morrowwind is looking pretty good. Ever wonder what do they feed those creepy long-legged bugs?

Unsuspecting travellers?


Thanks! What Hauk lacks in youth, he makes up for in experience. They say that every line of his tattoo stands for a dead enemy... And he's got a similar one also on his back!

Yet another naked Nord?

Ald'ruhn looks different than what Hauk remembered...

Impressive buildings though

Ah, now it's like he remembered it!

Into the ashlands

What just happened?

Quick, hide in a cave... Quickash?

It seems that Nords and clothing do not mix!

More cool pics of Morroland.

Okay, got a nice Lopov to start things off. Golly look at that sunset.

Yikes, so the Morroblivion team managed to make arrows stick into us just like in Oblivion. That used to freak me out. Sometimes we can go into our character's inventory and remove whatever arrows have shown in there. Exit the inventory, and now the arrow falls harmlessly from their body to the ground. Doesn't always work, though.

Oh no, it's a cliffie.
