n3rdl1k3m3 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I am so excited for this. I have been following it for a while and I am so glad that it is finally being released and brought here to Nexus!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkturium Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 This looks SO GOOD I would love to help out with concept art, I just don't know if I will have the time. Which is really sad, Morrowind was one of the best stories I ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that once a 1.0 version comes out to the public, it will boost Morrowind sales quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the Skywind devs, or the Nexus mods, going to be able to determine that the downloader of Skywind *has* Morrowind?The only thing I can think of would be for the Nexus to have some sort of system where you can input your game's number key, thereby giving that Nexus user the ability to download the mods. How will they combat piracy? What is to stop someone from downloading Skywind and throwing it on some torrent?Morrowind was released in 2002, so I'm going to assume that the internet was not required for activation and that all of the keys were attached to the disc. I don't know if this is how it works, but... would they (the Nexus), have to rip open the disc to gain access to the bank of potentially available keys in order to match them with those that players put into their accounts? I doubt they can legally do that, in any case.If this were on Steam I think that would be another matter entirely, since the player could associate their original key with their Steam account, or simply buy Morrowind again (currently $19.99 on Steam for the GotY edition).

It could have changed. However, whether it has or not, one can get Morrowind from Steam or GOG for about 7 bucks, last I looked...so not a big deal, I think. My understanding is that it will function as a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney666 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wish I could do some voice acting (Australian accent) or help with lighting if needed. I think doing this would be less stressful than running my own mod - and for a bigger purpose - a community made remake of a gorgeous game.
