So, I have been playing morrowind for 6 years, and in all my modding, i see a lot of people start a one man TC project as their first mod and get the landscaping done (if that) and then it dies painfully. A few have been done, and done well, I just can't recall them to give them credit, but it has been done, and will be done again. My questions are, How do you feel about TC projects? Do you think it ruins the vanilla game? Do you respect them in any way? Do you have any comments to people who make them? Just a general discussion on TC's and how the public feels about them.

You mean total conversions?

For myself, I've never played a TC. I appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes into them, but I still have a lot to experience in modded Morrowind, even though I've been through the game lots of times. I intend to play some TCs some day, when I've squeezed the last drop from Morrowind, and stopped modding myself, but I don't see an end to it at the moment.

I don't even know any Morrowind Total Conversions. The only mods I know of that are close to a TC are Silgrad Tower and Tamriel Rebuilt

I would say: If someone is able to do TC, he should definitely give up that idea and join Tamriel Rebuild team.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1067645-relz-arktwend-english-31/ is the only one I've played, and it is high quality. Very fun and recommended.


Um, what?

It's true that many TCs fail because of the huge amount of work, and joining an existing project is less daunting; but if someone has enough determination, commitment and skill to make a TC, then they should pursue their dream.

I agree with Pluto, however Arktwend eats your fps like pac man, I was only getting 7 fps on 800x600 resolution when I can run normal morrowind in 1920x1080 with 1024 and 2048 textures.

Morrowind4Kids is unfinished, but very playable: http://morrowind4kids.com/

I remember that. Not badly done at all. The dialogue was a bit quirky, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.



Is it being finished?

Oh yeah. Arktwend. Didn't the same guys from Nehrim (Oblivion TC) make that? Might have to check it out one day....

Sadly, no. Brash ceased work on it a few years ago. The files were given to Redwoodtreesprite in 2007. She had plans to make a TC of her own using MW4K as a base but it appears that she, too, has stopped modding.

I played Oblivion's Nehrim total conversation, the first i've ever taken seriously, and it did justice to Bethesda's works. I believe that the time commitment, if followed through, is worth playing.

Wow. I still have one of the earlier MW4K Betas somewhere saved together on a disc with LadyE & Proudfoot's Dragon's Breech...another TC.

i started arktwend but didnt finish it, yet... Myar Aranath, also from sureai, and also not played yet, but i guess myar aranath is only available in german ?!
gonna try those 2 with MGE XE soon :ninja:
