After reading through the "Morrowind As Above So Below" thread I got the urge to go on the biennial week long adventure of installing/modding Morrowind so I can play it for a few days and not touch it again. Yes, I know there have been threads about this before, but the last one I can find is 8 months old and I'm sure is outdated by now.
So far I have the "must have" mods; the unofficial patches, better bodies/heads/beasts/clothes, the "morrowind visual pack" texture pack (still trying to decide if I like it or Darker Morrowind better), and high-res readable signs. I'm also using the Morrowind Graphics Extender, and the distant land view is nice although to me the game sort of loses atmosphere when the fog is completely gone. Shaders for the most part gimp my framerate, and for some reason the animated grass option assrapes it to about 10fps. Not really sure why.
Anyway, what are the recommended mods these days? I've seen Morrowind Advanced and Galsiah's Character Development mentioned in a few places which I will likely use, as the original Morrowind levelling system is pretty shitty. Are there any good mods that change up the combat system? I remember a few years ago there was one that did a bunch of stuff, adding "bullet time", decapitations, different moves and stuff, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called and I haven't seen anyone mention it. I haven't really looked for it yet, though. Then again, It was probably a lot worse than I'm remembering it to be.
Soo, yeah. Suggestions would be awesome.
