Morrowind Mod of the Day - Protective Guards Showcase

For today's Mod of the Day, we're taking a look at a trio of mods that add new guard behaviors and protective abilities for vanilla Morrowind and OpenMW, including Protective Guards (OpenMW) by Kuyondo, Protective Guards - Factions and NPC Protections (OpenMW) by Kuyondo and Lelimule, and More Attentive Guards by Celediel.

In vanilla Morrowind, guards wouldn't respond to NPC attacks on the player, they'd just stand idly by while assassins killed the player in broad daylight right in front of them. To say this is un-immersive is an understatement, and now, with these mods, guards will always respond to NPC attackers, whether you're on OpenMW or MWSE.

Now they'll intervene, with some exceptions, when the player is attacked, and there's also expanded functionality here for guards to be more inquisitive about suspiciously behaving player characters, as well as faction protections, with guildmates coming to your aid.

Regardless of what platform you're using to play Morrowind, these mods are arguably a must-have for a more immersive and reactive game world, one that feels like there's just a bit more life to it. I highly recommend them all!
