No matter how many graphic enhancement you put in the game, Orcs will still be ugly. The absorb health effect looks nice, though.

Persephone the liberator for slave. Maybe Aravi will give her a tailoring kit as a reward.

The visibility underwater is almost better than above it.

Persephone can stand underwater with great confidence.

[mALX]

mALX: No way to treat the dead is from a goblin cave. The skeletons are all their victims, apparently tossed together by the goblins. That really got Persephone's dander up.


Acadian: Thankfully the ever popular Rens and Corean Hairs have been ported not only to Skyrim, but also backwards to Morrowind. That helps keeping Persephone looking like Persephone. Like the other games, I modded a new race for her, with her characteristically deathly pale skin.

Ooh, I have become hooked on "Absorb Health!"

Really surprising how good the Orc looks here, and also the textures of the wood compared to the rock!

WOO HOO! You freed Aravi! I have not done this yet, or freed Maxical's mother Shivani yet either!

Oh, Persephone looks amazing in the underwater shot! It doesn't even look like she is drowning!

OMG, I think I remember Treydog doing this quest in his story! You are really far along in the game then? I haven't gotten past Balmora, was doing quests there when I switched to Skyrim.

These are AWESOME !!! I haven't seen you do Morrowind before, this is fantastic!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I am using a head mod for Persephone's face, that adds a lot of celebrity faces. I think the one I am using is Jennifer Garner.

I think I free Aravi in all of my Morrowind games. Not that there have been many. The cave she is being held is not very far from the starting area, so it is pretty easy.


Lopov: The Absorb Health threw me for a loop, because it was a Restoration spell in Oblivion. In Morrowind I discovered it is a Mysticism spell! I wasn't expecting that, so I didn't take Mysticism as a Major or Minor. I had to pay for a lot of training to be able to successfully cast the spell.

I think you were a little too late for King Coin's Aravi. But she was a very prominent character around here at one time. KC did in fact get the character's name and background from the NPC in Morrowind.

Persephone doesn't need to breathe, so underwater is the same as above it to her! I accomplished that by adding the Argonian waterbreathing power to her Deadwalker racial abilities.


mALX: Where is Shivani being held? If it is somewhere on the Bitter Coast, Persephone might have rescued her as well!

I have not gotten very far in the game at all. Persephone has mostly explored around Seyda Neen. She has been down to Ebonheart twice, and made a trip into Vivec to sell some expensive loot. She has not even gotten to Balmora yet. But probably will get there tonight or tomorrow.

Persewind continues to look great in the land of mushroom houses. It is easy to see the influence on later games when we see the Morrowind Golden Saints and Dremoras. Even the Ghostfence looks like it inspired the magical wall around Valerica in Skyrim’s Soul Cairn. I’m just so impressed that Persephone is so well represented now in TES 3, 4 and 5.

[mALX]

WOO HOO! Awesome! Shivani and Nisaba both are in the Dunmer Stronghold of Hlormaren; along with their husbands S'Vandra and S'Renji. (Maxical is not S'Vandra's child by blood; however she was born within the marriage such as it was).



Ooh, Persephone's pony tail looks like Buffy's from the back! I love the look of that armor she is wearing! And wow, I never got to summon a Golden Saint, or even a Dark Seducer in Morrowind! That is so cool! But ... er, what did you do with her? Is that a quest?

Holy Cow, that is one loooong sword!


I am wondering if you went an opposite direction from where I went, I never got to see the Ghostfence! And I did make it to Balmora!

Seeing that fence here; and I've seen it in Morroblivion and Skywind - really makes me wish Bethesda would redo their older games in today's graphics engines and capabiities! How Awesome would it be to play Morrowind and have it be as great visually; mechanically; the animatronics; etc. - that we have today. And Arena; Daggerfall - would love to play them through in current graphics and combat abilities!

Okay, rant over.


Boy, Persephone's face came out stunning!


Oh, is that what the Ghostgate looks like? I used that structure as a gate for a pass in my story;


Oh, Battling a Dremora is a fantastic shot! Holy cow, what a great rig you must have to get that much detail! Are you using any mods to enhance the game? This is my favorite shot, spectacular!

I used a face mod on Misa; a body mod; an animation mod so everyone's walking looked better; and two combat mods to improve the combat - it was awful without them; but the animations were worse. Running still looked bad after the mod; and Khajiit were so bad - that was why I played Misa there, I couldn't watch the Khajiit walk, it was painful!

Man, Persephone is leaving a trail of dead bodies! Where/what is this place she is in? Awesome looking place! It looks like the Daedric ruins in ESO!


Skewered is right! Holy Cow, I guess so !!!

Awesome shots, I hope you stay in Morrowind a while so I can see more of it on a machine worthy enough to do it justice!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Playing Morrowind really makes it plain where the look of Mania in The Shivering Isles came from. The Ascadiian Isles area around Vivec is practically identical, just less colorful.



mALX: Wow, Persephewind just barely missed Maxical's mom. She went north along (and beyond) the shore from Hla Oad, and followed a couple little archipelagos of islands out in the water. There were a bunch of Daedric Shrines with names starting with "A", and finally a Dwemer ruin called Aleft that she explored. From there she went straight east over the mountains to Caldera and did some quests for people around there. That got her going further east, as far as the Ghost Gate. Then she headed south though an old lava flow and cleared out more stuff, before finally looping west to Balmora. So she circled completely around Hlomaren! But she will be getting there soon.

Persephone found a summon Golden Saint scroll somewhere early in the game. She saved that for a special occasion, which turned out to be the first time she fought a Dremora. That pic was taken after killing the Dremora.

Persephone does not have to worry about drowning. She's undead, so she doesn't need to breathe! I always give my Deadwalker race in all games waterbreathing to simulate that.

You are right about the animations and the combat. They are so clunky, even for the time Morrowind was made! Seriously, the Kotor games came out at the same time, and looked so much better in every regard.

I am using MGE to improve the graphics, and a few other mods like Better Bodies, Better Clothes, and an Armor Overhaul mod. Plus a whole bunch of head mods from Emma and others. That makes parts of the game look much better, while some things still look vanilla. Which can be kind of weird.

The Deadric Shrines in Morrowind are probably what looks like the ESO places to you. They are like small cities with really weird architecture. A lot more intricate and involved than the Daedric Shrines in Oblivion and Skyrim.

Nice contrast between Caldera and Balmora. I see what you mean about the elaborate Daedric Shrines. Persewind still looks stunning! Wow, looks like bonelords were clearly the inspiration for dragon priests. My isles look very idyllic.

[mALX]

I can't get over how barren both Balmora and Caldera look in these screens, I don't remember them looking so bleak in my game! Is it because you are so far away from them up in the air for the screen?

This is a great shot; even though the landscape is kind of reminiscent of a Fallout game here, lol. I'm dying to know about Persephone's sword, is that a mod added one? Is it enchanted?

Also on this shot; I love the architecture in the distance there; those steeples on shrines and some buildings in Morrowind; even more so now that I have seen it in the full glory of today's graphics in ESO. Really nice shot here, even with the lack of color!!!

Oh, Aha! This is the "Where Am I" thread screen! So I could cheat by following the path you detailed above and looking at all the buildings to figure out which this is!!! BWAAHAA!!!!

Man, that Bonelord looks freaky! The ones in ESO are huge and tough looking, but not scary = THIS one is scary as hell!!!!!

Geez, I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight! Oh, is that pink coming from Persephone's sword? What does the enchantment do?

HA! So Acadian has his own islands and didn't invite Maxical or Misa, but invited Persephone? *mALX turns green, grows to giant proportions, rips shirt off...*

They sure look pretty and lush; a bit Shivering Isles-ish!

Awesome shots !!!

[Lopov]

I think you were a little too late for King Coin's Aravi. But she was a very prominent character around here at one time. KC did in fact get the character's name and background from the NPC in Morrowind.

The name was familiar but I couldn't place it exactly until now.

Her Golden Saint wears similar armor as Persephone herself, at least on the first glance.

I just love Morrowind tombs! Some are very small but so fitting for the region and the culture.

I wonder if she summoned that Dremora by picking up one of the cursed items at the shrine?

Nice pic of Caldera from the distance. Reminds me of some old French towns here in Europe.

While Balmora reminds me of Egypt except there aren't any pyramids around.

Seeing where Persephone is located, I doubt that Arkngthand is the correct answer to your question in the Where am I? thread.

I never understood why bonelords need so big hoods if 90% of it is empty?

Lovely shot of the isles.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: The Daedric Shrines in Oblivion and Skyrim are real letdowns after Morrowind. The Morrowind versions are these mini fortresses, with lots of usually hostile guards. They are tough places to tackle.

Your isles are indeed one of the most bucolic areas of the game!


mALX: I think it was just the weather that makes Balmora look so bleak. I think it was a cloudy sky day, because the sky is dull and dim looking.

Persephone's sword is just an ordinary Silver Claymore. She enchanted it with Absorb Health, in keeping with the other versions of Malediction in Oblivion and Skyrim. It is what makes the pink lights around the heads of the people she hits with it.

It must be really nice to see Morrowind with ESO's graphics. I really like the art styles they used.

They have Bonelords in ESO? That is cool! They are one of the creepier monsters in the ES games. But still not as creepy as the feral ghouls in the Fallout games.


Lopov: Persephone explores every tomb. But she never takes anything from within. She just fights the undead. She doesn't know why they are so hostile!

Persephone did summon the Dremora in her pics by picking up items in the shrines. She always picks them up, so she can take them on.

Balmora makes me think of middle eastern and Spanish architecture. The Redoran style is what I like best, because it is so bizarre.

I guess the Bonelords like the view from up there! With a name like that, you would think they are porn stars...

The Bitter Coast shots - that is how I remember Morrowind looking in my game!


WOO HOO! You saved Shivani !!!!! Awesome! Thank you, Persephone!!!!


Aren't those guar sweet? I was kind of worried the first time I saw them that I was going to have a real fight on my hands; really surprised me that it was friendly!

Oh my, that is one large Gash!

Larry is back !!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!! It wouldn't be the same without him!


Awesome shots !!! Do you know, that is the first time I've actually seen the real Shivani? I never made it to doing the strongholds! Thank you so much for that, that was an Awesome surprise !!!! That made my day!

[Acadian]

Thanks to Persephone for the continuing tour of Morrowind. Your game looks great and I enjoyed the exotic scenics.

Is that a netch in Bitter Coast sunset?

Yay, Shivani is free now! I really only know her from mALX's wonderful story.

Persephone and the guar look great.

Aww, nice to Deadwalker Persephone and Bonewalker Larry.

[Lopov]

Lovely shots of the Bitter Coast, it definitely doesn't look as bitter as one'd think by its name.

Another important slave freed. I like that when you save a certain number of slaves, you can do some quest for the Twin Lamps organization.

A friendly guar! Not many such are around.

Is Persephone doing the MQ?

Larry's back, as dead as always and still kicking.

[SubRosa]

mALX: I think the Bitter Coast is probably my favorite area in Morrowind. I love the swamps, and all the islands and grottos along the coastline.

Whenever I read "The West Gash" I always think of something rude...


Acadian: There are two netches in the Bitter Coast Sunset pic. The one on the left with the translucent blue body is a female, and the larger brown one to the right is a male.


Lopov: Persephone frees every slave she comes across. Including those in the Caldera ebony mine. She was a slave herself, so she takes it very personally. She has not come across any of the Twin Lamps yet though.

I made a mod that makes the wild guar friendly, so Persephone does not have to kill them.

Persephone is doing the main quest, at least a little bit. She has met Caius Cosades and done his first quest, and gone into the dwarven ruin Arkensomethinggard for the Mages Guild leader. But she has not gone beyond that.

Persephone takes her hot business seriously!

Shipwrecks are one of my favorite things to explore in Morrowind, probably because they're almost unique to that game. While there are a few in Skyrim and even less in Oblivion, they can't compare at all with shipwrecks on the coast of Vvardenfell. Some of my characters used them as homes.

Unlike Larry, his brother prefers to have clothes on.

Dagoth's followers, not just those with big noses, but especially those walking lumps of flesh, are to me still one of the scariest enemies in TES.

Hey, now Skyephone has similar eyes as Deeno.

[Acadian]

Love those shots near the water. In your first shot, it may be my imagination, but it looks like Persephone’s expression is saying, ‘Ewww!’.

Those Daedric Shrines do indeed look more interesting/fun that their SkyBlivion counterparts.

Being a dead girl, I imagine Persephone’s too cool for fire to bother her.

Big Nose.

Wow, Larry’s bonelord brother is one weird looking skellie – no wonder he wants to wear robes.


Oh, Skyephone’s new silver eyes look fabulous!

[SubRosa]

Lopov: Persephone actually has a weakness to fire, thanks to her Deadwalker race. But it is still not enough to keep a dead girl down.

I love the shipwrecks in Morrowind as well. Except when they are tilted at extreme angles. Then I have trouble navigating through them without getting stuck on things.

It helps that all the Ash Spawn sites are barely lit, with nothing but a few red candles. I am currently working on a mod to improve the lighting, since its almost impossible for me to see the game when the afternoon sun shines into the room.

Oh noes! Persephone has Snake Eyes!


Acadian: The sheer number of slaughterfish in the water around Vvardenfell is enough to make most people say Ewwww. OTOH stepping into the water is one of the best ways to level up fast.

The Daedric Shrines are pretty simple on the inside. Most have a little corridor that runs from the door to a single large chamber with the Daedric Prince's statue. Some have a rooms beyond. But for most that is all. In fact, all of Morrowind's dungeons are small. Most are just 3-4 rooms total. Multi-level dungeons are usually only quest-related, and even those tend to only be a handful of rooms each.

Persehphone has her eye on you...

Larry the bonelord is weird as can be! I wonder what those long-necked four armed dudes looked like when they were bedecked with flesh.

Oh, I approve of the Acadian Isles! Red Mountain. . . not so much.

Neat peek at that city in the distance. What is that little critter?

Love the reference to the mighty Minsc and Boo! There’s another of those curious critters – dead this time. I’m chuckling over the skellie’s animation/pose.

[Lopov]

Looks like Persephone and Bonelord Larry are about to pick some flowers.

I could easily get used to living in the Acadian Isles.

But not close to the Red Mountain.

Love the reference to Baldur's Gate.

Yes, Bethesda naming that "The Gash" would have been hard enough to ignore; but the Wet West Gash = me sounding like Beavis and Butthead for the next 45 minutes every time I thought of it,


That is a very cool looking underwater cave! And one very ugly slaughterfish!

I love the Bitter Coast too; it just feels so believable with the little islands and that shack is a perfect example.

Ooh, was there any drowned treasure near the shipwreck?

Hmmm, I wonder if that is the same shrine as your "Where Am I" post!!!

Persephone is most def a hottie! What an Awesome screen!

OH! OH! Is she going after Dagoth-Ur? AWESOME !!!!!!!


"Readying" is another spectacular shot, mainly because it is such an awesome close in shot of Persephone's face! She is gorgeous!


OMG, she has a summonable really creepy looking bonelord follower? Does he fight well defending her? Urgh, they are so creepy!!! But if they are tough fighters, I guess having one by one's side would be ... doable,

You really went all out in these shots, these are spectacular! My favorites are the "Readying" and "Hottie," but all are Awesome !!!



** Holy Cow, those new skyrim eyes are positively freaky! She looks Awesome!!!
