Thank you so much, Battlemaga! I'm currently in the process of overhauling Morrowind even further, by following Cynderal's Pastebin Guide. I still have a long way to go before it's fully playable, but I'm working a little bit at a time, taking breaks and playing Skyrim from time to time when I become bored with the monotony of trying to find all the latest versions of the recommended mods, plus making sure I've covered all the bases (all weapons and armours, all architectural and landscape styles, etc.). I also have a personal life, helping my Mom with things around the house and choosing groceries and furniture, plus I have a girlfriend, and we're trying to plan our first date around her (quite literally) 'round the clock work schedule, plus I have things I want, as well as need, of course, so I'm balancing that. I'm Autistic with Asperger's, or 'high-functioning', Autism, and am quite far from being disabled, but I do require someone to be with me 24/7, as I do suffer from irrational fear and depression, and I can become emotionally overwhelmed a bit more easily than I would care for, and have been struggling with some extremely minor disagreements with my Mom that do still leave us overwrought for a brief time, moreso me than her. All of this is why I haven't showcased anything for over a month, but things are much better now, and I'm really hopeful that I can have Morrowind fully overhauled in one more week, probably less.
Again, thank you for the comment, it is greatly appreciated!
You have made very good choices for your game, it is beautiful. I will track you for a time to see what you post next. The tracking system works well if one uses it correctly. You can do the same if you wish, I do not use the friend system. To many Icons to sort through to find anyone. Every one wants to be friends, I just want a sunset as nice as yours.
This was taken with Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul (MGSO) and Morrowind Graphics Extender XE (MGE XE) enabled; my next overhaul uses Cynderal's guide (from pastebin.com; go there, search morrowind, and click on Morrowind 2017 Cynderal Edition, right near the top). There are also several other overhauls and modernisations going on that Cynderal's addendum to Guideanon's Paste doesn't cover; if you would like, I can list which ones I'll be trying. I know SpaceDevo is making an eerily realistic overhaul of Dagoth Ur and the Ash Vampires; they really do look extremely scary with his retexture, including glowing eyes and a maskless Dagoth Ur that can be encountered in Akulakhan's Chamber.
It's a long list, and I haven't been motivated to work more on Morrowind in over a month now; still, you really should give Morrowind a try: it is really a great game, even without mods, and certainly has the best stories of all of the main Elder Scrolls games, full of political intrigue, warring factions and guilds, secret government conspiracies, and the main quest is centred around an ancient prophecy coming true, though it's one that I don't believe was exactly mentioned in the elder scrolls, like the prophecies for the other TES games, but rather concocted by the spiritual, nomadic Ashlanders that wander throughout Morrowind. Morrowind also makes a daring move and includes enslaved Khajiit and Argonians, complete with a major slave-trading market, although the real-world technological limitations of the time prevented Bethesda from showing many finer details, such as slavers torturing and abusing their slaves. It also includes many unique landscapes, flora, and fauna that aren't seen again until Skyrim's Dragonborn expansion and ESO (horkers, famous for being in vanilla Skyrim, were first introduced in Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion; Bloodmoon also set up quite a bit of lore for the Nords and Skyrim, but much of what fans like about TES5 was explained on just one, small page in The Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition, which was bundled with the retail release of Redguard, but I digress (feature of the Autism)). Morrowind is fully compatible with Windows 10, including Win10+Fall Creator's Update, and runs quite well, even at maximum settings, on most modern machines, even low-end ones, and can easily be bought very cheaply (under US$20 on GOG, completely DRM-free); the original Xbox version also runs beautifully on the Xbox 360 (I play console games, too).
