80 hours clocked up and yet to get past lvl 20 :pac:

Can we call it Skyrim and leave me alone day? :pac:

Why not both ?

I found something off last night when I was playing this and I was wondering if anyone's seen it themselves. I have no idea what mod it was from (I doubt it was the main game), but in Whiterun, right beside the main gate, there's the naked body of a child and a dead horker, with a load of sweetrolls and a note talking about horkers living in the sewers and raping children. It's a fairly insane thing to suddenly find (type of thing I'd expect in Fallout, in fairness).

Anyone else stumbled upon this?

:eek: ......thats odd to say the least.

Ah, that could be it. It's crazy. I was using the forge at the gate and turned around to find a naked body. I'll try and post a screencap of the scene and the note.

I actually didn't know about Skywind , thanks for posting that, will look forward to it

There's a Morroblivion too. That needs Morrowind GOTY and Oblivion GOTY and is a lot futher along. Skywind is newer, and needs Morrowind GOTY and Skyrim Legendary Edition.

I presume that means it just needs all the DLC or is the something different in the Legendary Edition?

When Skywind game re-development has been completed, will it be available for downloading and running without an old copy of Morrowind installed too?

I believe you will still need Morrowind. Open to correction, however.

They have Morroblivion up with a lot more work, and there is no way that would work without Morrowind ever. Could Skywind be different? Perhaps, it sounds like they are doing major reworks rather than porting textures/meshes. I'd say it'd be worth getting Morrowind GOTY in a Steam sale or something when its really cheap just to be sure, and its worth trying out Morroblivion.

The set up was a bit of a pain for that, and have too many other things to justify playing it right now, but its on the backlog. Morroblivion has been in development I believe 5 years and isn't 100% complete. It has most of the stuff done, I don't know what is left. Using it as a baseline to look at Skywind, for a fully playable version, I don't know, could be waiting.

Will there be an TES VI? Will it make the re-development of Morrowind/Skywind obsolete? Then again, I have heard rumours that VI may be made only for next generation consoles and online play, with no PC single-player option. Anyone know?

Of course there'll be a TES VI. This is just modders doing unofficial stuff. Bethesda didn't support Morroblivion because of it using Morrowind textures in Oblivion, and so it isn't hosted by places like Nexus. It isn't like Bethesda are trying to stop them on it, but not exactly too keen on it either seemingly.

Morroblivion is still a WIP, with I presume, different people working on both. I skim back now and again, so have a very basic, incomplete picture of what's going on over there, honestly. Not great, but unless someone who is over there a lot posts here, it's probably the best that'll be posted here.

Skyrim was the first and only elder scrolls game I've played so I know fúck all about modding or basically anything ye're talkin about so I have a (probably stupid) question. Will this be only on PC? I've never played a game on PC so I literally don't have a clue...

As much as mods on console would rock, I don't have high expectations for that ever, and file it under 'not going to happen' for this game, or this gen seemingly. Would love to be wrong, but don't see it happening.

I agree. It's like a more refined version of oblivion with better graphics but it left me cold. I never had that feeling of immersion that I got with oblivion back in 2007.

That's a shame - I've mined 528 hours out of Skyrim so far, and I've never completed the main quest line. Skyrim is a wonderful game.

I enjoyed Oblivion, but I recall having to keep a diary of skill increases so Id know what stat was going to be x5 at level up, and bunny hopping everywhere I went to level Athletics - and indeed picking Major/Minor skills inversely to how the game designers intended to allow you to control attribute level ups. That broke immersion for me - I ended up adjusting how I played to suit a levelling up "schedule".

Skyrim on the other hand was perfect in that respect: a huge, beautiful world and a more elegant skill and levelling method that supported immersion rather than breaking it.
