Apparently people have been drooling over Oblivion. According to reviews and lustful moans everywhere, people are probably right too. Still, Oblivion costs money. Morrowind mods don't. And I'm not talking about the simple add-a-texture or modify-to-hit-tables mods, but about full-blown total conversion, relive-the-experience attempts.
The first one goes by the sad name Ashes of Apocalypse. It's a tacky, sci-fi post-apocalyptic affair, with a not-so-medieval soundtrack and FPS aspirations. Of course it fails. Tragically. The poor thing unfortunately looks like this:
Then, there is the Wizards' Islands mod (or according to its creators the unofficial expansion). This one is actually good and provides more than 20-30 gameplay hours, very good visuals, new cities and will even walk the dog and fix you coffee. All you'll need is Morrowind (obviously) and a 20th level character... Ah, the pic:
A close contender to Wizard's Islands' throne of quality is the Sword of the Perithia mod, which offers a new (and not improved) storyline, more than a 100 NPCs, new monsters, new weapons, new grammar, the full monty. Doesn't look bad either:
Then again, you could give Sea of Destiny -and not density- a try. But, I won't get into that. Nope, no screenshot either... Try to enjoy.
