1 - Why all texture replacements make every color lighter? The only exception is Darker Morrowind with makes the extreme oppose and make all every color A LOT darker. Some of those textures are really beautiful, aesthetic speaking i would say Better Looking Morrowind is the best. But it's just to bright and non-lore for me. Would be cool if somebody did a texture replacement with high quality and highly detailed textures but with a look based in the own game, concept arts and etc to make it more lore friendly
I never noticed that it's incredibly brighter. I used http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2915 and nothing seemed out of place or brighter, everything looked just fine. I guess it's a matter of tastes. :shrug:
2 - Does those vegetation mods like Forested Morrowind all make the Ashlands and other desolated places green? Do they change the native morrowind vegetation to a more "european" one? Do they conflict with mods like Balmora Expansion or other mods that delete trees?
I know that Green Morrowind, Leafy Morrowind and Forested Morrowind are adding forests all around the Vvardenfell, yes, they
do change
present native Morrowind vegetation, but in fact they are all lore-friendly, because they are supposed to show Vvardenfell 1000 years after Dagoth-Ur's defeat, and lore says nothing about that time and vegetation at that time. So I would recommend installing these mods and using them only with characters with which you have already defeated Dagoth-Ur and it's getting a bit boring. But beware - some of these mods
will bring your FPS down to a crawl if you have a relatively old computer (i.e., the computer that was bought to be able to run Morrowind).
