Vision of Morrowind - Part 01

Second updated Wallpaper. (Original still in the scrapbook) Since I can cover bigger regions in a single wallpaper that way, some of the old ones (like the Pelagiad one) will be "fused" and thus will never receive an update.

And the original comment is back in all its copy/paste splendor :

"Morrowind is one of my favorite games, it's one of these games wich life can be extended indefinitely thanks to a massive worldwide modding community.

It is difficult for someone who didn't play that game when it was first released to imagine the unbelievable graphical improvements (and let's not even talk about gameplay improvements) that were developed by the fans. From ultra high quality textures to remodeled bodies and visages, one of the most advanced improvement was the release of an utility called MGE (Morrowind Graphic Extender) by Timeslip.
The vanilla game being plagued by one of the worst 3D engine possible, even at the time of its release, the purpose of MGE is to allow your graphical card to actually improve the game in a way that was not possible before, from Oblivion like distant lands viewing to HDR effects.

Basically, despite its old age, Morrowind is a game that is becoming better as computers evolve. It will never be as pretty as the new generation of video games but it will remain one of the deepest and most interesting game ever created. Since I reinstalled it a few weeks ago and I was grabbed by the game once again, I decided to make a few screenshots so that people see what it looks like in 2008. All screenshots use multiple new textures and MGE.

Let's unleash the nostalgia !"

Since the adventure begins in the Bitter Coast, it seems appropriate to show the southwestern towns of Vvardenfell bathed by the morning light as my first screenshot.

(As a side note if these screenshots were to be taken in the original non modified game there would be nothing more than a gray fog as the original viewing distance would be so short than the game would not even be able to display the ground right below the character...)"
