None of these big ambitious mods for Bethesda games ever seem to get released. It’s always delay after delay. That’s why I’m forever skeptical of them.
Like this one, a lot of them are because Bethesda pushes an update like a decade after seemily halting any further work on the game and all the base mods require updates. Trying to run a specific version is probably too involved for a lot of people especially with how janky Bethesda modding is to begin with.
This is also the reason New Vegas has qoute a few overhaul mods. Sure some of them are questionable cough frontier cough but the fact exist at all is kinda impressive.
I’ll stand by the Frontier being a good time for a free mod. Insanely ambitious and some great quests and areas, even if the NCR questline is horribly written and on rails.
There’s a new version being made that guts the NCR questline, polishes it a bunch, adds some more quests, and adds some areas.
None is a bit harsh. There’s at least one that has come out and turned into a stand-alone game, Enderal. Enderal team has previously also released Nehrim for Oblivion, which was also a huge stand-alone mod. But there was also that controversial New Vegas mod that I can’t remember the name of. Skyrim also got Falskaar but I haven’t played it so I don’t know if that counts.
They take a huge amount of time to create so I’m not at all surprised most of them don’t release, but it doesn’t mean none of them release. Obviously it doesn’t help that Bethesda keeps meddling with their games which end up breaking mods and adding to the development. You’d think Bethesda would’ve figured out how to update the game without breaking mods, but nope.
Tale of Two Wastelands for fallout 3 and new Vegas is pretty great, and there’s a museum mod for Skyrim that’s bigger than the main quest line and that’s without the add-ons it comes with.
I believe OpenMW has a linux compatibility, OpenMW is an engine modernization mod nothing fancy just has some QoL shit and lets it play nice on modern hardware.
That’s probably the best tip I’ve gotten so far on this lol everyone else has me launching morrowind through vortex and vortex through lutris and I can’t get any of them to recognize the other.
Yeah morrowind doesnt play nice with windows 10 so I cant imagine it is particularly nice on linux. Also as a quick aside I you can mod morrowind directly through the morrowind files themselves with OpenMW, which is probably the most direct method since OpenMw doesnt have an integrated mod manager. Just a bit of fair warning morrowind is kinda arbitrary when it comes to what gets overwritten and what doesnt.
I’m not well versed in modding Fallout or the modding scene, but is it the New Vegas mod that allows you to have sex with just about anything alive and create offspring? That feels like one of the most controversial mods I can recall. Or would it happen to be a mod that allows you to kill any kids in the game? I assume that would be a controversial mod too.
I had to look it up. It was Fallout Frontier and it’s controversial because there’s all sorts of sex related shit that is really questionably presented. Like there’s a deathclaw in heat and the game supposedly goes in-depth with how much the deathclaw wants to mate with the player. There’s also some fucked up shit like one of your companions gets raped and you can comfort her with “Why are we still here? Just to suffer”.
I didn’t remember the details but I did remember the community pretty quickly going from hype to not even talking about the mod.
You should look harder then, it’s just that both London and Miami have cinematic looking trailers that explode in popularity, most projects don’t have these marketing savvy people.

Which ultimately is good for us all despite the setback for the modders when it happens.

Also Morrowind has Tamriel rebuilt and Skyrim: home of the Nords and those projects while far from complete are damned impressive.
I’m actually really stoked to play morrowind again, I just have to figure out how to get it modded on Linux

I think they’re talking about The Frontier, which had a lot of… objectionable content.
SureAI also made s fun fallout 3 mod, I think it was called the Cube.

I’m still waiting for Tamriel Rebuilt for Morrowind to be completed
