    Description:

    "The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    In the early days of May 2002, a little game came out called The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, a little known series, but it would go on to save Bethesda from bankruptcy, sell millions of copies, and become the most popular game for modding at the turn of the century. For most games, that would be where the story ends, but the greatest games never die, and Morrowind continues to live on, not just surviving, but thriving, and 18 years later is home to a growing modding community that continues to build new worlds, craft new adventures, and create new experiences for this amazing game, with over 1000 new mods released last year alone!

    Now today, in order to celebrate the 18th Anniversary of this truly remarkable and one-of-a-kind game that we all know and love, we're once again hosting a May Modathon Month, the 6th Annual Modding Competition for the community, which has become the largest annual modding competition in the entire TES modding scene! Throughout the entire month of May, participating modders on the Nexus, The Assimilation Lab and GHF who submit Morrowind mods could get a chance to win indie or AAA games each week. Likewise, all participating mods will be entered to win the Mod of the Month Award, with a ton of games as a prize!

    Not only that, but all winners will get trailers, special showcases, and numerous video features on Morrowind Modding Showcases. And the winner of the Mod of the Month award will naturally get featured in our Mod of the Month series, celebrating the best mods released for Morrowind each month. Not only that, but this year we're once again handing out achievements, little badges that you can unlock and plug into your mod download pages!

    Last year's Modathon surpassed the 2018 Modathon to become the biggest modding competition ever held for an Elder Scrolls game, with 240 mods submitted by 81 different modders, and with your help, we can make this year an even bigger success! The best games never die, so let's make Morrowind better than ever before with tons of new mods!

    Participation and How it Works:

    You can participate by leaving a short note in the mod description page of your mod at Morrowind Nexus, The Assimilation Lab and GHF that includes "Part of the May Modathon Month" somewhere near the top of the description or uses the Modathon 2020 tag (only available on the Nexus).

    Every week two to three different modders will be selected at random to win a single AAA or Indie game, and the way this works is that we'll compose a list of all participating mods released that week, plug them into a random number generator, and the top three results we get back will be the winners for that week.

    If you win in one of these weekly drawings, I'll send you a message on the Nexus, GHF, TAL, or some other forum board notifying you that you've won and providing a list of games you can choose from as your prize. We have about 200 games to give away, so hopefully you'll find something you want on there!

    The second way you can win is through the grand prize, the mod of the month award with 5~8 games as prizes. This award is determined by our judges who'll be going through and rating each mod in the entire event on a simple numerical scale.

    The scale they'll be using can be found below:

    1. 4 Points for Mod Creativity or Innovation (Does the mod demonstrate ingenuity; creative use of mod tools, game assets, scripted events, resources, etc; new solution(s) to challenge(s) and/or subject(s)?)
    2. 4 Points for Judge Preference (How well the judges liked the mod)
    3. 2 Points for Mod Functionality (Cleaning, Works, Are there bugs?)

    The total points possible for any mod is 30, or a 10 out of 10 from each judge. In the event of a tie, we should have enough games to go around for all. Indeed, we have over 200 games in stock to give away, so if you collaborate on a mod with someone else, regardless of which of the two ways you can win, everyone involved will still get something for their efforts.

    Rules:

    Overall this competition and giveaway is pretty easy to understand, and there aren't a whole lot of rules involved, but there are a few things we should clear up just in case.

    First, all types of mods are perfectly acceptable. From texture replacers to gameplay tweaks to content mods like house mods, quest mods, or dungeon mods. All of those are fine and will be accepted for the competition! The only kind of mod that will NOT be accepted is cheat mods, i.e. placing a barrel full of loot in the middle of Seyda Neen or placing a daedric longsword in the Census and Excise Office. Cheat mods like that will not be considered for the competition.

    Also, we accept both tes3mp and OpenMW mods, as well as MWSE Lua mods! Regardless of which platform your mod is designed to work with, all will be accepted!

    Second, all submitted mods must be, at least for the most part, safe for work. Questionable content is acceptable so long as it isn't the entire mod, remember we have to showcase these and we can't showcase adult-themed mods on the channel!

    Also, it should be pointed out that for larger mod projects, you can submit a demo or playable beta of your mod as part of the competition and it'll be perfectly acceptable. I do need to stress that it must absolutely be playable though. Any mod that crashes to desktop upon loading the game will not be considered.

    Remember, this only applies to mods released in May, so let's all get to modding and make this the 18th Anniversary that Morrowind deserves!

    If you don't know how to mod, check out our Let's Mod Morrowind series for a visual guide to modding - including interiors, basic scripting, and quest design.

    If you have any questions about this event, please leave a comment or send me a message!

    Morrowind Anniversary tomorrow!

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:11 AM PDT

    It's Morrowind's 18th birthday tomorrow, so I thought it would be a good occasion to celebrate this great game with a little musical get together, which you can easily join from the comfort of your home! I will be doing a livestream on YouTube, playing my piano covers of Elder Scrolls music from Arena to Skyrim and ESO. For those of you familiar with my covers, there will also be a brand new one (or two, I don't know!) to hear, with the score available shortly after. So tune in tomorrow at 6 PM UTC, and let's go down the memory lane of our Elder Scrolls adventures!

    Happy 18th Birthday Morrowind! Here's to Another Year of the Best Elder Scrolls Game!

    This game just gives me the most adventurous vibes that very few other games were able to even come close. It can also be gorgeous at times. And the music is just perfect. I put together a few clips I recorded on my last session that I think capture a bit of the game`s essence.

    Why is a skeleton kicking my ass?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 11:28 PM PDT

    Like he's made of bone but I get too close and he yanks out his fists and then pummels me into the ground and then shoots arrows at me. There's no muscle there. He's literally only bone but still beats the shit outta me.

    Telvanni tower in Minecraft

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 11:57 AM PDT

    So, me and my gf decided to build a Telvanni tower in Minecraft. As you can guess, it was incredibly hard to copy this style with blocks, so we switched it up a little and added some elements on our own. Turned out messy but lovely.

    How to get to the Ashlander camps?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:07 PM PDT

    Hello!

    This is my first time playing morrowind. I haven't done much other than the main quest so far, and I'm at the part where I need to visit all of the Ashlander camps. Are there any tips for how to get there the fastest/easiest?

    I need to go to

    First play through, how does fighting work?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:55 PM PDT

    So I recently purchased this game as I love the elder scrolls series and this is one of the only games I haven't played. It gets a little difficult with the navigation but my main question is the combat. Like are the hit boxes messed up or is their some hit chance that I'm messing up? Only around 20% of my hits land. This leads to me having a 2 minute long battle with a cliff chaser that ends with me at a quarter of a health bar every 5 minutes. What am I missing here? I'll be looking at an enemy and charge up an attack and nothing will happen. Repeat that 5 times until I finally hit it.

    What are the consequences, if any, for fighting the ordinators while wearing the Indoril armor?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:53 PM PDT

    On my current playthrough I've gotten ahold of a helmet and a few pieces of the Indoril armor, which I'm aware causes the ordinators to become hostile to you. Naturally, I would like to exploit this for my own gain by provoking the ordinators into fighting and taking all of their stuff; but I had also planned on joining the temple on this run, and I'm worried that farming a bunch of ordinators for their loot might make that problematic, as would be logical. I already killed one (after saving), and nothing really seems to have changed, but I might be completely wrong.

    I can't find anyone having asked this exact question before so apologies if everyone has heard this a million times.

    Is anyone aware of how your faction reputation changes when you fight the ordinators in the above manner?

    Thanks.

    Blind Let’s Play Morrowind

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:33 PM PDT

    I started a modded morrowind let's play series. Trying to roleplay as much as possible.

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:31 AM PDT

    I thought some of you might be interested in a new 2020 playthrough.

    No MGSO, yet almost everything has been modded in some way. I've only ever played through the vanilla game once, not including DLC, so this is sort of a blind run. I will be terrible, and the build isn't planned, but that's how I have fun :)

    If you're interested, here is a link to the latest upload and a link to the playlist.

    How to re-equip a bound weapon

    Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:44 PM PDT

    I've been playing Morrowind for a while, but I'm playing my first character with conjuration. I can't figure out how to re-equip a bound weapon if I've equipped something else. For instance, I'll conjure my bound spear, equip a lockpick, and then I can't figure out how to go back to the spear when the bound spear spell is still active. I'm playing the vanilla game unmodded, if that's relevant.
