Debatra Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I played the heck out of Oblivion and Skyrim back when each was new, but I'm only now setting up for my first time playing Morrowind. For the most part, I'd like to keep this first playthrough as close to "original flavor" as possible, experiencing the game in all (most of) its buggy, exploitable glory. That said; it's an older game, and a Bethesda game to boot. So I'm expecting there to be at least some number of game-breaking bugs as well as some things I need to do just to get it running properly on a (semi-)modern PC. But I'm only looking for fixes for major, game-ending bugs. Crashes, NPCs randomly dying/refusing to interact with you (as opposed to reasons they would intentionally refuse to interact, like vampirism), quests being completely broken and unable to be finished, etc. I also saw something about broken idle animations shifting "stationary" NPCs over time, things like that. What I am very specifically not looking for is anything that attempts to fix all bugs like the Unofficial Patches for Oblivion and Skyrim, minor fixes, anything like QoL or UI mods (for now at least), or anything that adds or removes content. Like I said: I'm a first-time player looking for what someone's original experience would be like. That said, I would also like recommendations for a lightweight mod that does absolutely nothing except changing the fact that stealing a single piece of cheese from a merchant eternally forbids me from ever attempting to sell any cheese to that merchant. My first time playing an RPG like this is inevitably going to be a "do everything and eventually become a god among men and mer" kind of playthrough, so I'm probably going to steal a bunch of s#*! and I'm not that much of a masochist. But that's the only actual gameplay change I want. (For now at least.) Also, I am aware of Expansion Delayer and it is very much on my list despite technically going against what I've just said I want. But I already understand the frustration of being badgered into a game's DLC from the word go as well as I care to. And is there anything specific to Morrowind modding that I need to know?

FIMzzZzz Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago decide if morrowind.exe or openMW if morrowind.exe i would consider the fallowing as essential... maybe already to much for you...!? Graphic Herbalism - MWSE and OpenMW Edition !!! Morrowind Code Patch MGE XE Morrowind Optimization Patch Patch for Purists UI Expansion (note that this isn't a skyrim situation, this is just an UI Expansion like the name says) Animation Blending Weapon Sheathing Morrowind Enhanced Textures or Intelligent Textures and after one of those, Vanilla Land and a grass mod Aesthesia Groundcover - grass mod, Remiros' Groundcover or Vurt's Groundcover this would be my absolute minimum. but i would also recommend to add some tree replacers... and some of the various texture replacers that are more focused than MET or IT, linked above. and here some mod lists to check out, there are lots of mods to keep the gameplay vanilla but make it look good. https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Morrowind_graphics_guide https://github.com/Tyler799/Morrowind-2020/blob/master/Morrowind_2020.md https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/54072 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014486063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debatra Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago (edited) I specifically said I'm not looking for things like minor fixes, UI, and textures. Aside from my one listed example about stealing stuff, all I want is to be sure the game won't be crashing and quests won't bug out and not progress.
