My fresh Morrowind Let's Play :)

Post » Sun Jun 12, 2011 12:41 am

I know i've mentioned it in another thread, but I'd like to give it its own thread.

If anyone has any advice or comments, please let me know, I want to try and improve the videos as much as I can :)

using Morrowind Overhaul and an Always Hit mod to try and speed up the gameplay!

Part 1 and 2 are currently up, the parts 3 to 17 are uploading as I type this!

Let me know what you think, thanks :) Alex (Tethesis)

I like the LP morrowind things and this one seems pretty nice.
Your voice is pretty calm to listen to as well, so thats a plus.

Quick question i have tho:
You use morrowind MGE 3.8.2 for the graphics, but what else graphics wise??

No texture overhauls?
Shaders, skies etc?

Keep up the good work mate.

Just watched the first video.

Two or three points of constructive criticism/suggestions/encouragement:

1) If you could record at a higher resolution, it would be good. I can't read the dialog or character stats at 480p
2) It's good that I can hear the Morrowind soundtrack. That was an issue I had with Gix's LP. But in your case you're not speaking loud enough to get over the sound track with your commentary. Also seems that you have a tendency to mumble as if just thinking out loud to yourself. Between that, and the fact that your accent is different from mine (American here), I'm only getting about 30% of your commentary.
3) It seems your playstyle is more of a "do the tasks/beat the game" than a "roleplay." This is clearly a personal preference, but I think it would be more enjoyable to hear you discuss what your character is thinking and the rationale behind his actions.
4) When you pull up the stats menu, assuming I could read it, you might consider leaving it up a bit longer so that viewers can take in your overall character build...

I hope that wasn't overly negative. I'd hate to be too critical of your effort, since I've yet to get off my duff and attempt an LP.

But you did as for suggestions... :)

(OK, Iied, it was 4 points.) :P

Yeah, second that, can you post info on your game build and platform. Options too...

I think you said you were using Overhaul. How do you have it set up?

Could you put up the FPS counters?

I'm working with Overhaul now and trying to get acceptable framerates out of it, so would be interesting to compare..

Thanks for taking the time...

Morrowind Overhaul, look it up, its a collection of mods combined to make it look better, a lot of things have been replaced!

Just watched the first video.

youtube3 is the one messing up the resolution, it is convinced that im only uploading a 480p vid, when its actualy 1080p -.-'
I do mumble a lot :/ its what I do when im thinking :L Im english, tricky to speak in the american way :/
I will get into developing the character, but im trying to actually beat the game after years of trying :L
When i get a bit later on in the game, i may start to show it off :)

Don't you have the Code Patch? I didn't know there were people who didn't use it?
I ask because I can see you don't have the "Shortcut Key Improvements" function (it makes selling/moving stacks of items sooooo much easier) ......or maybe you just decided not to turn that option on. ;)


EDIT: or maybe that function is only in the Beta version, which most people don't know where to get

the MGE is included inside morrowind overhaul, but i believe there are a LOT more mods in there that improve textures and meshes in some cases!

Well it's pretty essential. It has a major correction that prevents Save game corruption.
And all the other fixes are optional, so you can pick which ones you want. :)

Ill give it a go, what i really need it seems is something to increase the text size so that people watching can read whats going on!

Edit: turns out the code patch was included in the Morrowind Overhaul, so its already installed!

Cool. but you do have to run the patch program, and then make your selection of which options you want to use. (just in case you didn't know)

I watched the first episode but your LP seems to be oriented at showing the game and just doing everything. And as a veteran I'd be more interested in either a newbie exploring it for the first time (Gix style) or a more RP oriented aproach.

It seems to be decent at what you're going for though.

im not going for that, as i had only played the first ten minutes of the game previously, by the time i get past the first quest in the main sequence, the whole game is new to me!
