Anyone who’s played Morrowind remembers the village of Seyda Neen, right? There’s that annoying wood elf. And of of those massive crab-flea things you can ride about on. The swampy hellhole that greets you as you enter the game’s distinctly unusual fantasy universe has been lovingly recreated by the team behind ambitious mod Skywind.
Skywind, you might remember, converts the entirety of Morrowind into Skyrim’s much fancier engine. It’s been in the works a long time, but slowly and surely the project’s inching towards completion.
”The first look at the starting town of Seyda Neen! Our 3D artists have recreated and re-imagined this iconic town with updated buildings and clutter,” writes the team behind the trailer above. It looks like they’ve done a great job, too. I get a pure nostalgia trip from just this brief glimpse, and I can’t wait to check out the rest of the mod.
Might not be able to do that for a while, though. ”Skywind is currently NOT available for public download. We have no further information on a beta release either. Sorry! We’re working on it,” the team writes. Good things (hopefully) come to those who wait.
