Good god, those rocks look real! First rock meshes, ZackG? I can't wait to see your 100th attempt at making rock meshes.

Seeing that you are implementing nirn roots I ask myself, will you include some harvest flora like system in your mod?

Brilliant work on the rocks & nirn root BTW.

Its most likely going to be like vanilla morrowind with the flora. And thanks for the compliments.

Nirn root will probably be just a rare plant in Cyrodiil rather than a plant that once picked disappears and is only really useful for some quest. It will be a good ingredient for use in potion making. Remember this is Morrowind, not Oblivion. We want Cyrodiil to be a much more interesting place that feels like it belongs southwest of Morrowind.

You are really doing an awesome work!
Looking forward to this!

WOW those rocks... and the essential Nirnroot. Looking good! My only issue is that the Nirnroot has a slightly 'plastic' look to it - maybe due to the lighting on the texture?

I would rather travel this province then i would in oblivion! it looks amazing you guys you should all be proud of your work and may it be the best mod ever

awesome! it's a shame i never got around to joing.. ;(
but i've had absolutely no passion for modding recently, jst finishing up some old wipz from before my comp died.

great work though guys! cant wait to play!

Has anybody made any concept art for how Emperor Uriel Septim and Chancelor Ocato are going to look in this TESIII rendition?

Not yet, you are welcome to drop by the P:C website if you wish to draw some yourself

Is there really anything wrong with them looking the same as they do in Oblivion? Although I think it would be cool if the Emperor looked more like Patrick Stewart.

Or better yet, we could have him look the way he did in http://i.ytimg.com/vi/niU1bRqxrIU/0.jpg which ironically looks more like Patrick Stewart than when he was voiced by Patrick Stewart-what did he buy himself a wig between the games?

He also had a different look to him in http://www.scharesoft.de/joomla/almanach/images/9/90/Uriel_Septim_VII-Arena.jpg as well but I kinda like the Daggerfall look best. Maybe we could convince Westly to take a shot at mapping that actor's face to a head for us. We probably won't be needing it anytime soon since the IC is going to be our very last release-but we could still release it ahead of time as a bonus playable head or something (with a separate ESP probably).

If we get a unique head made for the emperor, it needs to be just that. A unique head for the emperor.

I thought the Emperor looked horrible in Oblivion. I prefer the depiction of the Emperor in TESII opening scene video. But there's nothing "wrong" with him looking like the TESIV Emperor. I just thinking the modding community can pick a much more befitting looking face than that face gen crap they used in TESIV. Same for all the important NPCs like Chancellor Ocato. Although I think that there are only those two NPCs that are important. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Ya know what, maybe we should ask if Illuminiel can make some trial faces for them. Do you think she would be interested?

Hey, quick question.

When Cauis Cosades gets recalled to the Imperial City during the main quest would you perhaps add him into your mod somewhere?

We have talked extensively about the role Cauis would play if when he returned to Cyrodiil. The only information I could truly give you is....you'll have to wait and see =-).


But for now, a couple screenshots of Stirk getting a few details such as the new rocks, cattails, grass, and a new tree.

Stunning zackg!

Gotta love Stirk!

That's why I said it would be released (if at all) as a separate optional ESP file. Another reason I suppose to get it done sooner is to either have screenshots showing it off or maybe have some in-game portraits based on it or something. I'd be slightly interested in trying to make a head using the face from Daggerfall myself. I don't remember-is it confirmed that it's Ocato who's standing next to him in that cut scene, or was that just pure speculation?

Is he going to be a turtle?

It'd be cool if he was a turtle.

Confirmed by the game's manual.

I agree. Thanks for ruining the surprise for everybody!!

Our secret is ruined!

Ah damn. I'm so sorry guys!

Very natural colours; excellent textures.
