Satchboogie Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Great to read this! Skywind is an awesome project. I've interacted with various people there and they are all very passionate about what they are doing, even if that might sometimes lead to a few tantrums along the way. I hope, I really do, that this project ends up as a ''whole'' at some point, a complete thing. And I hope Bethesda will have a few nice words to the people that made it happen. Seeing the Nexus have such nice words is definitely a great thing already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but still, it's a great goal they set for themselves even with all the limitations set upon them. I bet some of the volunteers even donated some of their own money to see this come to life. At least give them the credit they deserve. You can't s#*! on hard work because of one fault.

Elagabalaus Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I didn't know about this until now, I've never had the chance to play Morrowind, so I can't wait to finally play a beautified version of it. Thanks Skywind devs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I'm excited for this, looks better than TES:O tbh, lmao.Are you volunteering for some great professional voice acting? I never knew that free mods carried the expectation of paid work behind them. Any kind of voice acting will be an upgrade to Morrowind regardless, all I remember from that game is reading through walls of text. Which you can achieve by muting voice sound.It would be too much to ask to just wait and see how the product will actually turn out, though, so I completely understand your point.........Bah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
