I never used the super exotic weapons anyway. Other than that its better. Also there is a project underway to voice act it. That excites me.kyosai7 said:

Question: Does this overhaul fix the data overflow that eventually causes a system error? I enjoy playing, and I've gotten the overflow to a minimum by saving often ... but eventually even saving won't be able to clear the buffers, and I'll get a memory error that crashes me to my desktop.
I never played Morrowind, I'm one of those scum that started the TES series with Oblivion. Even then, it was a gift from a friend. I did, however, invest into Skyrim. Currently level... 11... I think. Never got into the games very much.
But that's one hell of an overhaul. Clearly it took some serious work to get everything up to that level of graphics quality.
Aside from that, it'd be interesting to hear how the overall changes have affected the gameplay from the original release to this one.

repurchased morrowind (having originally got it as an original purchase with my xbox WAAAY back in the day) and downloaded overhaul 3.0 yesterday. Finishing up character creation, I took the silt strider and greeted my old friend balmora. Joined the fighters guild, mages guild and thiefs guild straight up, so as to avoid refusal of invite later. Gonna check out imperial legion next...
To those curious about the overhaul, Basically the overhaul has vastly enhanced graphics whilst retaining the core gameplay of morrowind, with some slight tweaks (all optional during the lengthy overhaul installation process). The environments and architecture in particular look better than oblivion and only slightly inferior to skyrim, however character models are still unfortunately blocky, and despite what I am sure was a titanic effort, character models and NPC movement has lagged behind. NPCs seem to lack a few too many frames when moving and look like robots when gliding around... a pity, but by no means gamebreaking.
Players whom have jumped in at skyrim should beware; overhaul has really only made graphical improvements; gameplay is still based off a hidden dice rolling system, and as such the RPG elements of the game are significantly more pronounced than bethesda's more recent games. Morrowind will not handhold you through questing either; expect frequent referrals to your journal and a heavy dose of exploration; there are no quest marker arrows on your map or on NPC's heads
It's a purer, more focused RPG game than the more recent fallout and elder scrolls games, more akin to pen and paper RPGs than modern PC rpgs. The RPG and questing systems will chew up and spit out those whom are unaware; starting off is gruesome, but well worth the investment.
I'd highly recommend it for players whom played morrowind, it's just like you remember only prettier. Skyrim newbies beware; this is your granddaddies RPG. Keep in mind that morrowind showed the world what 3D rpgs could really do, and my an inspitation for gameings concept of open world sandbox came from this beauty.

I do have one question to ask about Morrowind seeing as i have never played it...Does it have the option of having a beard?
I found the tyranical Beard laws of Tiber Septim to be very odd and jarring, and it's one of those Area's i view Skyrim as being Superior and i have always wanted to know if people did indeed have facial hair in Morrowind or was Oblivion just weird because of an insane emperor who made men everywhere miserable due to his inability to grow any facial hair?
Yes i know this is a silly/odd question but i feel it's important enough to warrant asking.

I only have one problem with the overhaul, and with morrowind normal really. The combat...I still find it very annoying and boring to click attack god knows how many times before finally hitting an attack. It looked stupid and weird back then, and it still does.
Otherwise, the game is still incredibly awesome.

You should download the Tamriel Rebuilt mod http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/.octafish said:
It adds the rest of mainland Morrowind (name the game Morrowind, only feature an island named Vvardenfell about the 1/6th the size of Morrowind itself? great idea...). The project isn't finished yet, but you can still download the finished and polished parts so far. The added content should give you a lot of new lands to discover, complete with quests and NPCs.
I haven't tried this with the Overhaul mod yet, but it worked wonders with a bunch of tohers mod I tried in the past.
Don't install it into your program files(if you are on windows) put it under C/Marrowind. Program files dose something funky and it doesn't gel well with Marrowind. I had the same problem uninstall it then install it there.Andrewtheeviscerator said:
I'd guess they didn't feel like competing with Better Bodies, by far the most popular body mesh replacer, and the one that almost any armor and clothing mod is made for.EmperorZoltan said:
I vastly prefer Skyrim's combat is practice, but hate how empty it feels compared to Morrowind. Morrowind's more RPG-heavy system made it feel like you were winning because you built your character well. Skyrim had this, but not to the same degree.Verzin said:
I thought that was just a glitch I was uniquely experiencing. If not then.... there are some literally pitch black areas in the game if you use this mod. Make sure you get night eye or something similar early on folks!Norrdicus said:The overhaul certainly is a thing of beauty. My only complaint is that torches don't really help with the complete darkness of night time and some indoor areas
