Morrowind is, IMO, the greatest fantasy ARPG of all time by a fair margin. I'm currently replaying it after 20 years. The game does indeed need a complete update. So far, what you folks have done looks phenomenal. You're keeping it Morrowind, but making it so much more enjoyable to play. I'm absolutely stoked for this.

[@Stinkyremy]

Other than outdated graphics, only issues morrowind have is the diceroll combat and the levelling system is outdated. It just needs skyrims use skills to level them up system and diceroll removed, but also needs to be changed so that the beginning areas are still hard as the diceroll itself was in place to limit the player moving forward to much when not levelled enough. Other than that it is perfectly playable to this day. The hyperlinked journal is still my favourite mission system in any game.

@@Cmdr_V Might still be an IP issue. Afterall, bethesda owns the elder scrolls universe. I do think Bethesda likely has a legal grounds do screw over these projects. Though several game publishers have officially implemented mod projects in the passed. For example, mount and blade: Viking conquest, was originally a mod of mount and blade 2 that eventually became a purchasable official DLC. I can see bethesda doing something like that rather than just shutting down Skywind and Skyblivion. I'm sure Bethesda would love to milk these projects as official remasters. edit: I seem to remember the Skyrim Hearthstone DLC was also originally a community mod.

[@Illogical.]

@@savlecz1187 Huh. I'm sorry for making that accusation, then. It sounded really unusual to me. Yes, I did think it was odd to use real voice actors, but then use AI voice to narrate the video. I had the suspicion of it being AI before I got to that part, and then noticed the, now, presumably just coincidental, specific wording. My suspicion grew*¹ for various reasons. I don't remember all of the reasons, but the way nerevarine was pronounced (considering how little I have played Morrowind, I did not give this evidence much weight, but it was easy to remember). I don't have the words to formulate the way in which the other things I remember sounded weird to me. I would much rather drop my claim than rewatch the video to look for evidence that supports it. You knowing a specific name already seems like far stronger evidence for the voice and speech patterns belonging to a human than what I have brought forth. It also doesn't matter to me very much. Especially since this is a video about the development, and isn't directly a part of the game. I will make sure to be more critical of my suspicions that something is AI in the future. I think I noticed one initial detail that sounded odd, and then started listening for more odd details. Although, just a few days ago, I spent hours trying to find the original artist of a certain piece of art, and ended up finding a clear enough image to see that it was probably made by AI. Here are the key things I remember being odd about that image: Unnatural and symmetrically inconsistent sleeves. Eye colors too different, but not enough to be noticeable, and not for shading reasons. (not good evidence. Could also have been a bad sampling by me.) Weird thing that looks like it's supposed to be part of the handon the left, but doesn't make sense as being part of the hand. Linear increase in finger length on the hand on the right. And something about hair continuity. I did spend a lot more time on the image than I did on this voice, but voices are also more difficult to describe. *¹: "My suspicion grew" seems like I might have been cherrypicking. That is not good. I should make sure to avoid doing that.

The attention paid to voice acting is very appreciated. Of the 70 voice actors in skyrim, most of them only voiced 1 or 2 characters that you rarely encounter (as part of the boring main quest). That meant that the same 20 or so voices had to cover over 1000 NPCs.

whoever made the vfx for recall is a genius. good job to the team and im super excited to see progress next year

[@TheLaughingSimon]

The fact that you've put in the extra effort to bring back a lot of what made Morrowind special is insane. Extra clothing slots, new spells, all the bloody dialogue (and fully voiced by the looks of it). You're all mad. Inspiring. But very definitely mad.

[@Izlandzadi14]

Skyrim brought me into gaming as a whole, and Morrowind is my favorite game of all time. You're doing incredible work, and thank you so much for these comprehensive updates! My excitement is immeasurable and my day is made

[@destero8853]

You guys earn no money with your endless and inspiring work, but you already earned my respect! I am looking forward to sink endless hours into Skywind, when it's finally done! ❤

[@oOZAPPXVOVAOo]

I can’t wait to live in it.😂 Seriously incredible work guys, the dedication is truly beautiful. I’ve been waiting patiently & will patiently wait some more to experience this whole project come to life 🙏

[@GrandGoblin]

Once this is released I won't even be waiting impatiently for TES6, I'll be too busy sinking hundreds of hours into Skywind.

[@Fa1seP0sitive]

This and Skyblivion are going to take up a thousand hours of my life and I can't be more excited for that.

[@riokollivier]

This and Skyblivion are probably going to be way better than ESVI anyways.

[@KingJ1397-v8q]

@@riokollivieryeah definitely Bethesda can’t put this much passion into anything all their games are just soulless money grabs cause they know thier role playing loving fans are okay with weak story and poor combat since they don’t use those parts anyways they just create a mode and their character and prance around playing day dream sims

[@ObsidianKnight90]

Between this, Skyblivion, and Avowed I have no interest in TES6.

[@Needkey.]

Yep, this is the next true Elder Scrolls game, not TES6.

[@leederlee]

best dev update ever made. great video. not just informative but entertaining at the same time! hope a lot of ppl will apply!

[@Thomas-Bradley]

This and Skyblivion are something that I'm looking forward to the most! Can't wait to enjoy what the OG TES fans have played before.

[@BunnLilah]

I didn't realize it until this video but Morrowind probably needs way more voice acting than Skyrim or Oblivion since it originally used huge chunks of text that weren't voiced at all. It's amazing how far along the project is! I haven't been following closely but I didn't expect you all to be this far into it.

[@Andreithelord]

Astonishing work that left me drooling for this masterpiece of fan love. I sincerely and deeply hope Bloodmoon and Tribunal are next on schedule once the main game is done. A thousand cheers to you! The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

[@tesrskywind]

Time will tell, but there's definitely an appetite for it among the team!

[@Sirmissalot90]

Your depictions of bonemold armor, kwama creatures, and ald ruhn are PHENOMENAL! I already know this is going to be an incredible adaptation because you've absolutely nailed 3 of the main anchor points that make Vvardenfell the otherworldly setting that it is.

[@VIVIVI920]

Guys, this looks incredible. Everyone involved should be so proud of themselves! Keeping going on a long project like this is so difficult! You have my respect!

[@steakismeat177]

I am more excited about this project than Skyblivion as I haven’t managed to play Morrowind as of yet.

[@khethelozungu984]

It's pretty awesome and quite beautiful that this is a community effort. I love the unity showcased here, with everyone working on different parts towards a singular goal.

[@alp9323]

It is amazing how much you have achieved, you literally created a proper triple A game that a million-dollar company can make. I am looking forward to play it hopefully soon, great work!

[@malevellysian]

jesus you guys are absolutely out of your minds and i cannot praise you enough for it, vivec be praised!

[@tesrskywind]

"For some, madness is the greatest of blessings."

[@thedude8526]

This is one of the whackiest undertakings Ive seen in my life. So many setbacks, yet here we are with so much of the remake done in the past few years. Im impressed.

[@aeriondovah]

I really can't express my gratitude and excitement for all this elder scrolls projects: Skyblivion, Skywind, Beyond Skyrim and all the mods still in development for skyrim. Thank you for your hard work!

[@kilntran3969]

Bethesda should fund this project and aid it directly, make it official imo. I'm fine with paying full price for it like any TES titles, because the team behind this project is very well deserving money for their amazing work.

[@tototriceps]

Amazing works so far guys 💪

[@MorganRG-ej8dj]

These VAs are mad crazy. I love it so much!

[@arcadius2569]

No matter what happens, your incredible team has my undying love for letting me see Morrowind in this way. Thank you so much. Your works stand on their own and the future will see your time, sweat, and tears spent.

[@btarg1]

As a writer seeing the writing so creatively and faithfully done is wonderful. Can't wait to play this!

[@Jun3bug99]

I love how much fun the VA’s looked and sounded like they were having!

[@thedude8526]

I agree! This is some of the coolest VA I've seen in some time.

[@MrMeltJr]

God this is so fucking cool. Can't wait.

[@damienjackson9856]

This needs a million views

[@ethanwasme4307]

that dark elf voice actor nailed it so so well i thought it was vanilla cut dialogue!

[@fredricktheman]

This looks absolutely amazing

[@Hervissa]

You are incredible!!! And incredibly talented!!! Each and every one of you is making this ambitious, epic project into a veritable jewel of the gaming skies!!! ❤❤❤😍 Love how spectacular everything looks AND SOUNDS! Thank you so much for putting in the work and pouring your hearts into Vvardenfell ❤

[@nemonaught2772]

This might be the game I look forward to the most and perhaps one of the most valuable games for me of all time. I am being very serious - I have played many of the classic RPG greats (Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate 1--3, Dark Souls, Morrowind, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity etc) and I am as hyped for this as I would be for any other promising entry in these series. So much love,, so much sophistication. The real Elder Scrolls are communities like yours, Skywind's, we met along the way.

[@Razah.]

I have never played morrowind as I was way too young, my first elder scrolls was Oblivion. So I am waiting on Skyblivion. But I just came across this for the first time and it does look amazing, as I have always wanted to play morrowind. So I think this Skywind will be the one to set it off for me!

[@P_Petkov]

More work is going into this than most AAA games. Great gob team.

[@TheFastgeek]

Just learned about this project today and am quite excited about it! Despite having been gaming since ~1980 (yes, I'm old) I've never been able to force myself to play the pre-Skyrim games as the graphics are just too... much... plus other various issues. Learning about Skywind, and I Skyblivion, is just awesome. By the way, the music at 5:15 grabbed my attention so thoroughly that I fought with Shazam until it gave me a result (apparently I'm the sixth person to do so 🤣). My compliments to Mr. Richards on such a lovely piece. Now to finish the rest of the video! 🙂

[@harrasika]

I don't know how you guys do it, but literally everything about this project is amazing. There wasn't a single thing in this video that I didn't like. I love the kinda cartoony artstyle, I love the character design and animations, the spell animations, I love all the locations full of wonder, I love the music, sounds; even the video editing and writing is great. This project just radiates passion.

[@RuinedDruid897]

The amount of progress that has happened over the last bit of time of this project is genuinely mind blowing. Thank you all so much for your hard work!

[@CRandyGamble]

Thank you for sharing this update! Loved the voice actors!

[@rastabananaman206]

This is the coolest thing ever, I still can’t get over it.

[@hughquillin9137]

The mark and recall spell looks amazing AF. Good job.

[@CardSharkOfficial]

6:15 Well, well, well... What do you have to say for yourself, Bethesda???!!!!! Congrats to the whole team, we're are all waiting impatiently to be able to explore Skywind :)
