After 19 years in development, absurdly ambitious Morrowind mod reveals new roadmap

There's still quite a long wait ahead of us for The Elder Scrolls 6, so instead of looking impatiently into the future why not turn the clock way back to 2002? Tamriel Rebuilt is an incredibly ambitious mod for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that adds a huge landmass to the map, several hundred new quests, scores of original NPCs, creatures based on The Elder Scrolls lore, and hours of exploration and gameplay...

Morrowind remake Skywind now has over 100 dungeons complete, but still has a long way to go

For a while last year, I started following a long modding guide to update The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to a more modern standard. Then I lost my place and gave up. I’m not joking. The thing is huge, and I forgot what I was doing. That’s why I wear my Skywind badge with pride. The dedicated modders working to bring TES III over to the Skyrim engine are still beavering away at it, and have released an update on their progress. Spoilers: you still can’t play it.

Morrowind Rebirth, a gigantic overhaul of the classic RPG game, is getting an update to celebrate ten years of development. New armour, weapons, and spells are added, and several locations have been given a lick of paint.

The mod turns ten on March 29, and just ahead of the big day, the team has released version 5.4, and listed everything it includes. Some 16 locations in the fantasy game, including Ebonheart, Maar Gan, Balmora, Gnaar Mok, Tel Aruhn, Dagon Fel, and Sadrith Mora have been reworked in one way or another. Some have just had the clutter changed, others have had their NPC scripts fixed to make interactions feel more natural, some have had their layout shifted slightly, and one gives a home to a homeless NPC.

Silver Saint is a new creature, and Cephalopod Gauntlets and the Silver Saint Shield are the new armour. Dozens of magic armour, weapons, and clothing have been added, and Voroyn's Ring and Dread are two new unique items. Burning Touch, Freezing Touch, Poisonous Touch, and Shocking Touch are the four new spells, each with three degrees of use.

Morrowind Rebirth's 5.2 update adds "plenty of cool additions" - including grumpy NPCs

The latest update for the sprawling Morrowind Rebirth rework project has landed. The extensive overhaul mod for Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which aims to let you "explore the island of Vvardenfell as you never have before, with a world built anew to be both alien and familiar", now has a 5.2 version - and it's packed with "a plethora of changes" and "plenty of cool additions" to delve into.

As announced by modder Trancemaster_1998 on ModDB, new additions to the RPG game's rework project include pretty "major" visual overhauls for some of its areas, such as Gnisis and Seyda Neen, and, to a lesser extent, the market town of Suran. There are also new goodies to grab, like Velothian magic armour, a St. Meris Shield of Serenity artifact, and ingredient for your concoctions: white guar hide.

In addition, there are some significant gameplay changes that'll add something new in to the mix. For example, as the modder highlights with a screenshot, "if your disposition sinks below 15 towards an NPC and you fail to bribe, admire, taunt, or intimidate, the NPC will now force a goodbye. Previously you could just keep on clicking, without a proper response".
