I understand they were going for a “different” look with them, but most people who play Morrowind agree the character models are a major detractor. Although I use a ridiculous amount of Oblivion mods, I’ve kept my Morrowind modding to more of a minimum - I guess it doesn’t really need as much help (I still think Bethesda left Oblivion a bit of a blank canvas in some ways because they were counting on the modding community to polish the game for them, but that’s a discussion for another thread).Īnyhow, you’ll probably want something like Better Heads and maybe Better Bodies, although I’m not a personal fan of the latter, the default head and body models in Morrowind are crude at best.
Not to say you should play from start to finish without mods, just to start the game out and maybe do a quest or two. As with most games I’d recommend playing without mods first, so you know whether you want mods, and what parts of the game you’re experiencing are mod-related and what aren’t.
