Finished Morrowind at the 52 hour mark. There's much, much more to experience of course but I don't like spending too much time in open world games these days. Too many other games to play!
I really think they nailed a unique and alien aesthetic with this game though. It's extremely memorable and a nice change.

- MGEXE to improve the overall look, water, weather effects, view distance, increase the font size and such. Also enables full widescreen and high resolutions.
- Better Dialogue Fonts to make the UI easier on the eyes. The default fonts are hard to read at 1080p imo.
- Morrowind Enhanced Textures which upscales the default textures using machine learning so everything still has a cohesive look. I usually steer clear of texture replacement mods but this one does it right.
I wanted to improve the visuals somewhat without going overboard. The above mods did a good job of it

Original Xbox Jade Empire LE.
Shied away from this for years as it smelled too much of traditional Japanese RPG fare but, whilst it is lumbered with a lot of similar ideas and storyline (demons, ghosts, mysterious strangers, corrupt rulers and pantomime bad guys) its actually good fun to play.
Overly wordy at times with the usual mix of good and mediocre voice actors doing their whacky cartoon character types. But last night I was surprised to hear John Cleese's unmistakable voice as an arrogant, shipwrecked English soldier.
I do find myself skipping through dialogue trees, which are sometimes awkwardly translated, just to get to the actual gameplay. It looks pretty good on the Xbox too and although there is a bit of slowdown in misty or smokey areas it is short lived.
The main positive for me is its decent real time combat system. Whilst the camera can annoy at times the uncomplicated leveling up (no real need to grind), character boost and allies system means those elements of the game play particularly well.Last edited by fallenangle; 06-05-2021, 10:48.
