Oh, that explains a number of recent mods for Morroblivion - I think they are porting this work on Morrowind to Morroblivion. The problem with that however is that it breaks Oblivion, so Morroblivion stops being a DLC and becomes the main and the only game... But why would you want to do that when you can have all the original mods in Morrowind itself?

lol! I've sometimes considered it, but I've never tried Morroblivion and I don't know much about it, because I've always been too addicted to those mods that are exclusive to just Morrowind.
If the ports are breaking things, though...yeah... I'm not sure I see the point, either. Maybe those people just infinitely prefer using Oblivion as a base?

I think originally it was in order to get better graphics and more flexible AI. It was developed as a DLC, so an addition to Oblivion, and to me this is just another province that I can visit from Cyrodiil. But Oblivion game is not Morrowind game, the game mechanics are quite different, and not everything has a counterpart. Then they started bringing more and more of Morrowind game mechanics into Morroblivion, first as an addition, and now as a replacement for Oblivion native mechanics. Which means you can't really play Oblivion properly, certainly not with mods. It is going towards a total conversion... But looking at your screenshots, I just don't see the point. For me personally, the great advantage of Morroblivion over the Morrowind game consists exacly in Oblivion native mechanics and a few other things (music, dialogue, magic, skills, to name a few). So by the looks of things the current version will be final for me as I do not want to kill my Oblivion.
