Morrowind Mod of the Day - Dynamic Actors by Taitechnic and Interface Reimagined by Eledin

Morrowind has a lot of dialogue, from quests to lore to basic gossip, the NPCs have a ton to say in the vanilla game. But for all that time you'll spend reading dialogue, there's not much happening on-screen, for Morrowind essentially freezes the game when dialogue begins, characters frozen mid-walk, a static image with naught moving except the occasional bit of text.

While I personally prefer text-based dialogue, this frozen static screen is a bit dated by today's standards, and that's where today's Mods of the Day come in, for today we're showcasing Dynamic Actors by Taitechnic and Interface Reimagined for OpenMW by Eledin.

This pair of mods both overhauls the visuals of dialogue, streamlining and modernizing the dialogue interface, and animates the scene with the world still moving in the background and actors taking poses while you speak to them.

Far from the static world of before, these mods turn conversations into more immersive experiences, as you stop to chat with NPCs with visible animations and the world continues to move about you as you do so.

Morrowind Mod of the Day - Lucid Disturbing Dreams by Kildozery - GrumblingVomit - DimNussens - Tauer

During the events of the Morrowind main quest, you become plagued by disturbing dreams, unsettling visions of a man in a golden mask - only these visions in the vanilla game are little more than textboxes with no visuals or interactive elements to speak of, a disappointing implementation of an otherwise cool story-telling mechanic.

Today's Mod of the Day aims to change that, for today we're showcasing Lucid Disturbing Dreams, an immersive and atmospheric mod that allows you to fully immerse yourself in these disturbing dreams, experiencing them first hand with new cinematic encounters as you progress through the main quest.

Now each dream is a fully realized scene with interactive elements, complete with voice-acting and unsettling sound effects, giving you a proper sense of dread for what lurks beneath Red Mountain.
