About this mod

Open MW

I have friends that I want to try Morrowind, but i know it has a barrier of entry, so this mod was made to hopefully get them to stick with the game.

This is just a simple edit to base game races to drastically buff all races for unique play experiences and buffs the birthsigns to match. Adds a few new starter items.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Here are all the changes made using the OpenMW construction kit.

These changes are mostly passive buffs for example the Redguard's boosted Long Blade of 10 is a passive effect on top of the race skill Long Blade of 15. This means a Redguard has +25 long blade. While i could edit their race skills, i decided to do passives so players could more easily break the 100 skill cap making their characters feel like they excel in those skills.
