Also, Oblivion is getting the very same treatment, though it's nowhere near as complete as Skywind is. This is great news indeed!!!

Out of curiosity, how does one need Morrowind if no assets are used from that game? I thought SkyWind was built from the ground up?

I mean it makes sense, because in my mind I was actually laughing at the thought of people being able to play a replicate of Morrowind with high graphics for free. Which led me to think how Bethesda would actually go about this and have accepted it.

I just can't fit in my mind how Morrowind is required if Bethesda specifically told them they can't use assets because it's against their EULA to port over assets from one game to another.

I remember the GOTY came as an addition to this 2.95€ magazine once in Germany, and I was too stupid not to buy it :D

It's not a huge deal, because Morrowind is like 5 bucks during a Steam sale, and we'll be getting more than a few of those before Skywind releases.

It's something the team at TesRenewal has deemed necessary for the mod, not out of necessity, but out of respect for the title and possibly to prevent legal issues. You ARE, after all, playing a complete recreation and improvement of Morrowind.

I know it is cheap on Steam, but have ZERO interest in letting Steam EVER install ANYTHING on my box again, as every time I open the door for them they backdoor overwrite my TESV setup w/default crud that cannot be rolled back, but must be replaced piecemeal by hand as it is found incompatible. The last time I let them fix one thing they full updated my game and it w/n load until I fixed it after much work.

HOW

I know how to set dependencies for skyrim mods to other skyrim mods. How does one go about setting a dependency for a different game? My question is purely on the mechanics of such a thing; I have no interest in any debates. Im just curious how you did it.

And please keep up the good work, it looks awesome!

If you use Mod Organizer you shouldn't have to worry about Steam overwriting anything.

They've already started to work on it and devote more people, time, resources, etc. on Skyblivion. Just go look on their website and scroll thru the forums, you'll probably find it somewhere. There's a reason they made it so where you can't download it anymore. They took it down, like they did Skywind. It's their next big project. Edited March 18, 2016 by Tomahawk568

Pontless? I beg to differ. Morrowind is a fantastic game (albeit with its own faults), and I would definitely recommend people to play through it before Skywinds release. Edited March 21, 2016 by MacKom

Is there a site/soundcloud profile where we can listen to all music tracks made for Skywind so far?
