While everyone is busy enjoying Oblivion remaster, I've been playing Morrowind again-this time with OpenMW 'Expanded Vanilla' mod list. This is my Breton Telvanni Nerevarine Barry and her companion Felthorn(mod).
modded gears featured:
Archmagister Robe- Telvanni Magister Robes by RuffinVangarr
Mirror Shield- Secrets of the Crystal City by MelchiorDahrk
Necromancer's Amulet (appearance change)- Artifacts Reinstated by CiceroTR
Felthorn ( Blademeister by superduple)
love that I can recruit him on early stage of the game (balance & nerfing mods make beginning stage game quite difficult, so having a reliable companion helped a lot). The quest line encourages you to explore various dungeons across the land more.
While drawing this, I was staggered by how detailed his final form model is. Full of intricate patterns and layers. I know nothing about making mods but it made me wonder about the amounts of effort that went into creating these.
Dunno why, but I keep refer to Felthorn as 'him' or 'it'. Strange considering it spent most of playtime in a humanoid female form (winged twilight, golden saint, final form). As he's a spirit weapon, I'm sure he won't mind.
Barry without helm. Ambitious power hungry murder hobo. Other than having anti-slavery stance (she thinks slavery is inefficient in long term. condones slavery in house telvanni tho.) and being an archmage of Vvardenfell (reputation is nice), I think she's quite a Telvanni through and through.
It's my first time playing as Telvanni in Morrowind (Casimar didn't joined great houses, Opens-every-chest was Redoran) and I'm absolutely enjoying it. Tamriel Rebuilt with Uvirith's Legacy and Rise of House Telvanni turned Morrowind into Telvanni simulator.
OpenMW is amazing. Automatic installing the mod list is really convenient (honestly tho, I couldn't understand how to manually install and customize mods in openMW ). If anyone wants to play Morrowind in 2025, OpenMW is the real answer. 10/10 recommend.
