YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!!!

Greetings, fellow Morrowind enthusiasts.

 

Excuse my capslocky outcry in this topic's title,

but right now, i'm in rage-mode.

Well, a mixture of rage and sorrow, to be precise.

 

Let me sing you my song of woe...

 

So i decided to play morrowind again, after about a year,

last having played it on the xbox with only Bloodmoon and Tribunal.

 

I spent literally hundreds of hours on this game,

first on PC without any addons, then paused a while and got myself the xbox-GOTY-edition,

on which i spent countless hours again.

 

Being that morrowind is one of my favourite games of all time,

i recently grabbed the GOTY for PC, and went looking for some mods to further enhance this already pretty stunning gaming experience.

 

I was struck by what the community managed to create,

the sheer beauty of some mods and overhauls was just unbelievable! (Thanks again to Povuholo who pointed out a few really great mods to me)

 

I spent many hours reading up and downloading on how to install all those great mods and get to work what i thought would be the greatest experience since i booted up morrowind for the very first time back in 2003...

Everything seemed peachy, i was set up and good to go!

I started installing...

 

And had to realise that, owning the german version,

NEARLY NONE OF THE MODS would work for me.

Vurts astonishing work - Nope,

Better sounds - uh uh...

 

Damn, i never had that happen! :wallbash:

 

Stupid german GOTY-edition, may it forever burn in an ashland lava pit! :verymad:

 

Sorry for ranting,

most of you probably don't give a rat's behind :wink:

I just felt like venting off some steam and probably get a pat on the head to cheer me up.

I was so looking forward to playing that game again seriously overhauled... :pinch:

 

But it would've been nice to know that all the good mods are not for germans.

 

Oh well,

the german voiceover sucks big time anyway,

so i'll probably get me an english GOTY now...

 

 

Sorry for the rant.

REJOICE!!!

 

Instead of raging in our beatiful Nexus,

i should've opened my blighted eyes and searched more thorougly.

 

Actually, there is a little tool that translates mods into german.

Nothing big, and it probably won't work with mods that integrate heavy scripts - those you'll still have to change for yourselves, like dialogue -

but at least i can now use great mods like Vurt's Overhauls.

 

I don't know if it's of any use to anybody,

but i presume there are still some morrowind-fans from germany (or other german-speaking countries) who might appreciate

to know about the possibility to get all the great mods to work.

There also is a French version of this Translator out there!

 

Lesson learned,

 

Research before you Rage it is...

 

Now, off to soak in the view and feel of my new morrowind :-)

Haha, even games can teach us a lesson sometime. It's good to know you managed to solve your little problem and I wish you have another great experience with modded Morrowind like you had with the vanilla game.

 

EnjoY!:thumbsup:
