A very early build of the game was leaked last year. You can still download it some places. Got this link from some dude that makes TES videos and mods:

you didn't need a chip, any softmodded + goty version of the game would do. you could get quite a few decent mods on it too without making it unstable, i had my poorfag friends setup nice because he didn't have a pc.

>xbox morrowind was a good port

bullshit
if this image doesn't refresh your memory then you were one of the lucky ones (played at the end of console life) that never had to go through the DVD drive fiasco

>>375775807
>best game in the series
>actually finished
>everything polished and put together well

What's it like being born after 2000?

I'll at least say it's an eyesore trying to go back and play it now but god damn is Morrowind good.

>>375779483
Both my drive doors failed but you could open it with a paperclip. I had one of the bad drives and one of the good drives but both read the disc just fine.

>>375779483
Its not Bethesda's fault the original Xbox is one of the most faulty and self destructive consoles ever made.

>>375780395
>>375780402
>>375780409

The issue was freezes and/or just wouldn't fucking work. The Thomson was worst, Phillips had occasional issues, no problems with Samsung. I remember calling Xbox support and they knew of the issue and refused to help, and Best Buy was equally as bad but the manager came around.

>play from HDD
not without modding

>>375779483

FUCKING THOMSON

>>375775526
If I remember right when you try to read a sealed letter it tells you to drag it onto your character to break a seal, which was obviously impossible on Xbox, so you can't break or reseal documents with the security skill. I don't think there's a way to make custom map notes either. Other than those missing features I guess it's a decent port.

>>375780936
Thompson is actually the middle of the three in terms of quality. Its the Phillips that really blows, only the really early motherboard revisions came with them.

>>375775526
The best part is that they actually delayed the Dark Brotherhood attacks until you reach some level, but didn't do so for the original PC version. I guess they figured we would disable Tribunal manually until we beat the main quest or something, which is retarded. PC users have to rely on a mod to delay them if they want to experience the vanilla game as intended.

>>375779001
Oh, so you don't understand how to hit things. Opinion dismissed. It's one of the first things you learn about the game unless you're retarded. You can't use a weapon that you have no skill points in.

My xboxs disc drive has two tiny holes on each side instead of the huge ones in that picture.

>>375782045

And even if you have 0 skill points, it takes like 10 swings to level up. That's why by the end of the story mode, you jump like 60 feet vertically, run at 80 miles an hour and never miss any attacks against any enemy.

I sure hope you guys with xboxs have checked for a time capacitor on the motherboard or else you have a dead console in the near future, if it hasn't already been claimed.

It's literally Dragon Ball Z. As someone who played Oblivion first, it fucking blew my mind what you could do in Morrowind.

>>375775807
Oddly enough the xbox version was so unchanged from the PC version that on a modded xbox you can just drop in mod files and in most cases they will work. Although graphics mods are pretty much off the table since the game already ran abysmally on the xbox. Its not the same but still a fun little fact.

Confirmed for never playing the xbox version. The journal alone made the game miserable.

>>375780712
I wouldn't even call this a port really seeing as its a standalone game with a new story and was subtitled "Ghost Babel" in Japan.

Not a port
Great game though, shows you don't need hackjima as a director to make a good MGS game

>>375783479
They developed the game with Xbox heavily in mind. They've become very console centric and Morrowind started it all.

>>375775526
this port crashed like crazy
i honestly wouldn't recommend it

>>375783831
It's such a faithful recreation of the console game. It makes me sad there wasn't more like it.

>>375784053
They really didn't. The game was already feature complete when Microsoft approached them and asked to put it on Xbox. It was the success of the Morrowind's Xbox port that made them design all their future games from the ground up for consoles. In that sense Morrowind did start it all, but that isn't reflected in the game itself.

>>375775526
OP already posted the only one I can speak of with experience.

>>375781382
thomson was the worst drive for reliability

>>375784053

>>375781227
>break and reseal documents with security skill
W-wait this was in the PC version?

>>375784758
Yes. Your chance to successfully reseal a document is your security skill - 5, so you need to fortify it to 105 or higher to have a 100% chance.

There's only a handful of documents in the game that are actually sealed in the first place, however. I know one is involved in the main quest and there's a few in the great house quests. The point is so you can read the document without suffering the consequences of having read it, which is honestly kind of pointless in a game where you can just save right before you read it and reload after, but if you're role-playing or just anti-save-scumming that's how you'd go about it.

This feature would be in the Xbox version but they never bothered to carry it over, which is why you see a dialog telling you to drag it onto your character, which is only possible in the original PC UI.

Reminder the man himself Todd Howard recommends the Xbox version, he wouldn't just lie to us like that right?

>>375784527
I meant that the port had a lot of love, Jesus Christ settle down

Even better with werewolf form in Bloodmoon. Loved just jumping from hilltop to hilltop without having to fight the dozens of enemies the dlc throws at you.

>>375785124
In theory only designing/porting it with one hardware configuration in mind would help it to not be completely broken. Never happens though of course.

>>375786570
It was though. It didn't have the PC's quest journal so you have to page through potentially hundreds of pages of chronological updates to find what you're looking for. It didn't have the PC's map notes so you couldn't write notes for yourself to keep track of things such as item and NPC locations. Attempting to read a sealed note tells you to use your fucking mouse. You can't use console commands like RA to fix the NPC drift bug, meaning your silt strider operators will all fall off their platforms eventually and some interior NPCs could even disappear entirely. Then there's the memory limits they never managed to work around meaning the load times get extreme and the overflow loot bag will appear after dropping a few dozen items anywhere.

It's a great game and I guess in some ways it's impressive they managed to fit it onto the Xbox at all, but the Xbox version is still far inferior to the original without even accounting for mods. Speaking of mods, Bethesda released a bunch of free DLC for Morrowind that wasn't included in the Xbox GOTY edition: new official quests, items, and locations that were only available for PC.

There's one capacitor in some XBox models that degrades over time. It starts to fail and leaks capacitor juice on the board, wrecking it
The only way to prevent this is to remove the capacitor and [ideally] replace it

Holy fuck I've been trying to think of the name of that game for forever, I can't believe some random Morrowind image solved that for me.

>>375780712
It's more of a reimagining and a better game in general than an actual port.
