Not really, morrowind looks like ass, the combat system is ass, and several of the quests are ass (Why yes, I do want to spend 8 hours walking in circles around this lump of brown looking for a tiny black speck)

Sneaking system is ass too.

That leaves.. Fuckloads of content, actually.

So basically, Skywind is Morrowind+, but free?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Well you have to own both Skyrim (for the Engine) and Morrowind (which the program converts the worldspace of to the Skyrim esp format), so it's hardly free.

Ow, i see. I could probably afford it, but actually getting it may be harder.

I think they are converting oblivion too...?

GOTY is on Steam.

Yeah, they're porting Oblivion too. The Skyrim format is closer to Oblivion than Morrowind, and they have a working Morrowind -> Oblivion converter (for Morroblivion). So they're building off of that to have it port from Morrowind -> Oblivion -> Skyrim, which has the advantage of also porting Oblivion -> Skyrim :P

Damn. How much does that cost?

E: 20 euros for morrowind GOTY.

E2: Do you need oblivion GOTY or oblivion GOTY deluxe for playing oblivion in skyrim?

Oh man.

Morrowind, oblivion, and skyrim, all in the same worldspace, would be freaking epic.

Also would be totally screwed up lore-wise, but who cares.

So once Skywiblivion is done will all of the world spaces be geographically 'correct' so we can walk from vvardenfell all the way to the imperial city? :P

Would make a really nice 6th game.
Oh wait, that's going to be a screwy MMO.
Nevermind.

Well the way it worked in Morroblivion was you picked which game you wanted to play at the start, and playing Morrowind would just disable Oblivion entirely and vice-versa.

Though I'd like to see some kind of plot about using Elder Scrolls to see a "vision" of previous heroes as an excuse for switching between the different periods of time.

Resetai does not work. Farkas is getting increasingly creepy.
He was in the companion quarters thingy, i went up and sprinted to about halfway jorrvaskr.
THEN HE TELEPORTED RIGHT IN FUCKING FRONT OF ME AND INITIATED CONVERSATION.

E:
I think i may have discovered a hidden subplot around the slow desintegration of the Elder Scrolls universe and laws of physics.
Examples: ETHEREAL TELEPORTING FARKAS. The corpse of a dragon in whiterun happily rolling around in front of jorrvaskr like a puppy.

It's basically taking the old games and making them playable in the new engine. So it's the old games, plot and all ^^

Well, the old games with plot and new systems. Wich could break certain things i guess, but probably not too much.

E:
Oh god, this is getting worse and worse. "You cannot fast travel while the guards are pursuing you". I AM IN THE. MIDDLE OF FUCKING WHITERUN AND I DONT HAVE A BOUNTY.
Well, atleast this explains farkas's behavior. He thinks he's a guard and is trying to initiate the arrest dialog option.

Anybody got a console command to disable his AI entirely?
