Modders Revamp The World Of Morrowind With Skyrim Engine, Others Transform Guild Wars 2 Into A Shooter

Posted on Thursday, September 20 @ 11:22:59 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Welcome to Skywind, a mod created by Elder Scrolls loyalists who decided to transform the landscape of the now severely outdated last-gen RPG Morrowind into a shiny new world using the Skyrim engine. It looks absolutely stunning, as is evidenced by the images below (via PC Gamer).

    

    

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time this group of modders has pulled something like this together, as they're also responsible for the creation of Morroblivion, which is a recreation of Morrowind using the Oblivion engine. For more information on either project, you can check out the Morroblivion forums.

But that's not all, as a different group of talented modders have begun retooling Guild Wars 2 to make it a third-person shooter. You heard me correctly, a third-person shooter. Crazy, right? See pvpPROJECT's "Combat Mode" mod in action below (via Gameranx).


Unfortunately, ArenaNet isn't particularly fond of the mod, noting on the game's official forums that "the use of third-party software is not allowed in Guild Wars 2." Bummer, but you've got to applaud them for at least trying, right?

    Holy f-ing Christ! Now I might actually play Morrowind! I have the damn thing, but because there's not fast travel and the game looks so ugly I couldn't play it! I hope this doesn't take 10 years or something like Black Mesa Source.

    I'd say try Morrowind Graphics Overhaul in the meantime, but that's an extraordinary pain in the butt to install.

    I have already tried it and it is a pain. It is also a huge system hog (when I tried it at least) and needs to tweaking from the devs. Not sure it there has been updates since 18 months ago when I tried it.

    You can already mod Morrowind to look better than Skyrim, and have been able to for a while now.

    I have never understood why Morrowind is considered the best ES game by so many people

    It has the best environments, atmosphere, and plot. The Elder Scrolls series has never had particularly good gameplay.
