Are you excited for Skywind? Hype !

[☧ Voievod]

For those who don't know what Skywind is :

1. Q: What IS Skywind exactly?
https://tesrenewal.com/skywind-faq

A: It is a non-commercial, fan made modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that seeks to merge the amazing world of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with the enhanced graphics and capabilities of Skyrim's engine.

While ownership of both games is required to play, the player only actually plays Skywind using the Skyrim game, and not the older Morrowind game. This means that the user interface, combat, graphics, and system requirements for the Skywind mod are all those of Skyrim, and NOT Morrowind.


What build will you play first in Skywind?

im more pumped for Beyond: Skyrim myself as all the actions, consequences and lore that dates back to Arena are reflected in this mod expansion as it supposedly creates all of Tamriel set in the current day 4th era, rather than just remaking everything like every quest and npc in 3rd Era Morrowind and Cyrodiil into 4th Era Skyrim. Not to take anything away from the Skywind and Skyblivion guys, but id rather be in present day Tamriel than to have Skyrim in the 4th era and Morrowind and Cyrodiil stuck in a time machine thats locked in the 3rd era...

Also, Beyond: Skyrim uses only Skyrim assets entirely (I think, its been a while since i last checked it) and ownership of past games isnt required as all the stuff is modded in from scratch with esm, esp, bsa, and scripts like any other Skyrim mod

well it's probably be a long hype then ... it's YEARS in development and it will probably take YEARS before it's finished.

I used to be pumped but it's taking so long. Yea yea I know how a mod this big takes time, but that's my opinion.

Edit: and I don't see any reason it requires a steam version of Morrowind. Hopefully they will have an option to stick a disc in.

I stumbled upon Skywind about 6 months ago and I've been very intrigued by it. I'm a sucker for TES universe; although, I have to omit TES: Online, due to not getting my jollies from MMORPG's.

My first build in Skywind must be a Battle-Mage.

A brilliant effort by all involved in this project. Also brilliant work a few years ago when the project first started and there lies the problem. I can't see the project reaching the finish line.

You also need (according to the develpers) a half decent rig to run Skywind.

The requirements for this mod/overhaul:

Game: Skywind
CPU: i5 2400 3.1GHz
GPU: GTX 560 1GB
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz
​HDD: 1TB 7200RPM
Average framerate (Exteriors): 43
Average framerate (Interiors): 60
-Lag spikes in the Bitter Coast

It's not gonna be like Morrowind. It just won't feel the same so I'm pretty meh about it. Plus I'm pretty sure they won't keep all the mechanics (or rather return them) due to all the salty kiddies saying "teh combat is haaaaaaaaaaard. I can't figure out a basic stat system for a game so it SUCKS". All n all Skywind is most likely gonna blow for me.

I was fairly excited 3 or 4 years ago when I first heard about it. I was excited about Half Life 3's release nearly 10 years ago.

Am I still excited... err, no.

You're better off that way. For someone who likes Morrowind there's a big chance Skywind will be a complete joke.

[SpeedFreak1972]

well to be honest I think we'll see a new TES before this comes out.

[Awakened Gamer]

My problem with all these throwback elder scroll projects is they never finish! They where making a morrowind one for oblivion and it never got finished....

[SpeedFreak1972]

Indeed and what IF a new TES comes out probably they'll say scrap it we'll make it for TES VI ...

I do not get why they even scrap it when people still play oblivion its just silly.

While waiting for Skywind there are a couple of mods already in existence/being worked on that add small portions of Tamriel.

here is the Morrowind one: "Shadow of Morrowind" http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35789/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D35789%26preview%3D&pUp=1

On my latest Skyrim playthrough, Im planning to add as many different provinces of Tamriel that I can, without the game exploding, so that I can explore all of Tamriel or at least some small additional portions of it (kind of like Dragonborn and Solstheim technically being a province of Morrowind). There are quite a few in the "New Lands" section of the Nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/searchresults/?src_cat=30

[SpeedFreak1972]

Well the question is if shadow of morrowind is still in development ... I mean the last update was more than a year ago. also the first mention was in 2013 so time wise it is a skywind type of project.

About the scrapping what I meant was big chance they start over again with the NEW TES as a basis. which makes it even longer till it comes out.
