About this image

Several months ago, I inadvertently mucked up my Morrowind installation, but instead of trying to fix things, I decided to just uninstall it, since half of my mods were out of date anyway. I finished rebuilding my new installation a few days ago. As ever with this game, it's lovely to be back.

    How cool would it be to sit under that green glow by the porch and watch such sunsets every day!

      Damn... Yeah... Morrowind is definitely one of those games where I wish my screen really did act as a portal to another world, instead of occasionally just feeling like it!

      Me too: there are some worlds so alluring that I would love to step through the frame and roam around for real. Modded for no monsters, of course!

    The images still look beautiful. The artist seems more important than the mod set!

      Thank you
      Critical to say, though... there's no way I'd be able to take most of these shots without the incredible mod authors who keep this game beautiful and alive.

      Very true: the mods are vital. I just meant that the mod set you used at the time was less important than your mod and image selection(s).

    For a 21 year old game, it looks darn good with the right mods.  Lovely image.

      I often struggle in deciding which era modded Morrowind looks like it's from. If I had to put a number to it.. I'd say somewhere between 2010 and 2015-ish +, depending on things like the region of the game, and the available mods, meshes etc. For example, some areas, like those around Azura's Coast (or parts of Tamriel Rebuilt) look stunning enough to almost be mistaken as current gen... but Solstheim, especially the 'mountainous' zones, is another matter, entirely. Of course, in the latter case, the fact that we have Skyrim does influence perception, I suspect.

      Still though, above all.. Morrowind has always been its own, very unique thing... which I think significantly adds to the timelessness of its visuals. After all, there's no real basis for comparison.... Hence, Solstheim tends to stand out as appearing a bit older, I feel.
