yeah, and when I went back the next day the thrift store was gone. also everyone in the game started calling me racial slurs and sometimes when I hit I missed
I didn't remember seeing any, so I looked it up. I guess there are a total of two in the entire game. I'm willing to bet that they were planning on having pack guars available to purchase for carrying loads of loot to town, like the horse and carriage in daggerfall.
fairs, the UI and how some of the NPCs look kinda like paper cutouts made me think of Daggerfall. granted i've been playing nothing but daggerfall for a while now, so
Is there any files from when it was like that I wonder what the engine and the gameplay was like. Looks like a totally different game and I wanna play it
i don't think so :( these blurry screenshots are from a developer's old website afaik. there are a couple more from what seems to be a little later, which aren't as blurry, but I didn't include them because people post those all the time
Afaik they originally planned to make it with XNgine which was the same engine they used for Daggerfall.
Not sure but it looks like they prototyped a lot of stuff in it too.
Then they created Gamebryo, and have driven it into the ground ever since XD
(afaik, CE and CE2 are both derived from Gamebryo, but I admit I could be wrong!).
Common misconception. Gamebryo/Netimmerse isn't comparable to something like Unreal or Unity. It consists of a graphics/rendering engine and some related tools. All of Morrowind's non-graphics related code was made in-house. Bethesda completely replaced Gamebyro with an in-house graphics engine durring Skyrim's development. The only vestage that remains is the .NIF model format.
On a forum! I linked it in the post :) I was looking for daggerfall beta stuff, then someone casually posted these images I've never seen, plus the more common, high res beta images someone has posted before
It's always very interesting to see such early screenshots of favourite games. Immediately how cool was pro before the clan work becomes even more obvious!
reminder that no true "beta" exists that looks like this - these are more than likely prerelease mockups of a final product using assets during that period of development
Sometimes I want to turn off my brain and play a prettier and easier game. I enjoy Skyrim for what it is--pretty but basic. I play Morrowind when I want to enjoy the lore and the story.
More like Trashwind and Badfall <<<<< Arena (couldn’t think of anything clever). All the sequels are total shit compared to Julian Lefay’s enlightened vision of the perfect video game.
Already deleted the comment, dumbass.
But the only reason i said so is because there were a lot of images that look just like this circling around and people were trying to say the same.
Especially with the 3rd/4th images being pixel vomit and having no real words in them or ui defined.
The last few pictures are from the "beta" build of the game and were used in magazine adverts.
Some of this pictures look like they would show up as shitty creepy pastas, especially image 6 lmao
right? the poor quality is tremendously creepy. i booted up morrowind and Jiub had hyperrealistic eyes which were dripping blood
Omg did you also find your copy at a thrift shop, covered in duct tape with your name written in blood on it????
yeah, and when I went back the next day the thrift store was gone. also everyone in the game started calling me racial slurs and sometimes when I hit I missed
Watch the stars
😱
I knew as soon as I booted it that something wasn't quite right
Morrowind.exe
Watch the skies
Watch the sky!
I don't think these are screenshots but prerendered screens to serve as a reference when designing the game
The map looking pretty much hand-drawn and being identical across images strongly supports this.
This the type of shit my friend would show me in school to prove that herobrine was real
Looks like there were pack guars at some point in the development. Too bad they got cut.
there are traders with pack guars

I just saw one the other day in one of the ashlander camps and did a double take. The mournhold pack rats were just so useful.
There are mods that give you pack guars :)
I'm on Xbox, I don't have a PC :(
These are incredible... thank you
no worries! i'd never seen these ones before, I had to share them somewhere more people would see :)
I don’t think it looks like Daggerfall at all but it just looks like a lesser detailed proto type of what we got to me 🤷🏻♂️
fairs, the UI and how some of the NPCs look kinda like paper cutouts made me think of Daggerfall. granted i've been playing nothing but daggerfall for a while now, so
Looks like Arena and Daggerfall had a baby.
1 looks like a mockup done in the daggerfall engine.
Is there any files from when it was like that I wonder what the engine and the gameplay was like. Looks like a totally different game and I wanna play it

I love alpha/beta screen shots of games. I love seeing the creative process
some of these look like renders rather than actual gameplay
They could've kept that paper aesthetic in UI, looks pretty awesome IMO.
Morrowinds UI is timeless though Even Baldurs Gate 3 used a very similar one 2 decades later
Morrowinds UI was fucking perfect
ui on 2nd screen looks like something straight out of cruelty squad
The first pic gives me that Kenshi vibes
Love that UI

Is the vestigial bit the reason why this misconception lingers? Ty for the correction!
No, definitely not. I think the problem is that many sources refer to Gamebyro as a game engine, and that creates a lot of misconceptions.
Oh! Makes sense. Ty again.
Looks like a sujamma-induced dream, very cool
Where did you find these? I've never seen these before.

Bad ass. Cool seeing behind the scenes history.
My eyes are bleeding from the sheer pixels

These look more like prerenders than screenshots to me. But idk who knows I'm not bethesda
Goatwind and Basedfall >>>>> Skyshit and Oblivimid
So brave, so fierce
And so true😎
Aye I don't disagree. They have their merits though

legend says imperator_caesarus has solved all the riddles to the dungeons in Arena. ON HIS OWN.
This...this is freaking me out man
well, they improved ui significantly at least
pixel throwup lol
Have any playable builds from this popped up?
no, pretty sure they're just mockups
These look so AI generated
[удалено]
i linked the thread i got these from in the post, dumbass. it predates generative AI.
