Ten years after its original release, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind continues to be loved and enjoyed by its fans. While the gameplay holds up well, the Bethesda freeform adventure shows its age when it comes to graphics. Fortunately, a group of dedicated modders have given Morrowind a complete sound and graphics overhaul.
First, let’s take a look at the original Morrowind, circa 2002.
And now with the newly released mod.
Looks damn close to Skyrim in a few places, if you ask me. Especially in regards to lighting and weather effects.
I know I’ll be tearing the house apart in search of my old copy of Morrowind to give this mod a whirl. The Morrowind Graphics and South Overhaul 3.0 mod is available for free download here.
