(http://www.thelys.org/mods.php?a=Kellick_Stormcrow#Stormrider) A link! To a ship mod! The best one, I think. (Thanks again to Live.)

I've never tried out any of the 'mount' mods (rideable Guars and horses), but I find that with the way the body in Morrowind is constructed, it just looks awkward and unreal when you put that body ontop of a Guar. Or horse. Same with the mods that allow NPC's to sit down.

Thanks for the link:thumb:

Use a cheat to raise your acrobatics really high and then leap to see scenery go flying by

The Silt Strider wasn't my biggest complaint. It's just like all other modes of traveling around the island other than walking. You're teleported around. Even going inside is a teleport. This shocked me a bit when using the editor and found just how many interiors don't even come close to matching the outside of buildings/caves.
Still, it's a HUGE land mass and riding on a mount or Silt Strider would be awkard in some places.

That 'Living Silt Strider' mod was a let down for me. It took a long time to actually find one. I watched it move around, but the idle animation was wonky.

The 'Stormrider' mod is the best for RV'ing around the game. Get this one. Oh, and my other favorite, (http://www.thelys.org/mods.php?a=Mykul#Dwemer_Sky_Glider) 'Dwemer Sky Glider' is easily the best idea in modding imo. You fly over the land faster than those cliff racers.

Although I personally prefer the Stormrider it only seems fair that (http://www.highpressure-morrowind.com/Ultimate_Galleon.html) Ultimate Galleon gets a mention. It is extremely well scripted though some of the features seem over the top to me, as well as having a not so great way to get it... Either way it's definately worth a shot. (http://www.highpressure-morrowind.com/) Madmax has a couple other vehicle mods, my favorites being (http://www.highpressure-morrowind.com/Lord_Of_The_Dragons.html) Lord of the Dragons and (http://www.highpressure-morrowind.com/Pegas_horse_ranch.html) Pegas Ranch

I remember seeing a rideable silt strider beta out there somewhere. I'll look around a bit and see if I can dig anything up.

Oblivion promises to lay waste to Morrowind, which, in my opinion, lays waste to any RPG to-date.

I've read some of the stuff on Oblivion and WOW, just WOW.

I prefer a few Scrolls of Icthian Flight and a Ring of Slowfall.

Bounding across the island like Jumpman Jr. am I.

Except that no, I don't prefer that at all. Or any kind of real-time travel. I loathe having to find Dwemer ruins, Daedric shrines, dungeons, tombs, Ashlander villages, etc. that aren't near a Mages Guild Guide, a Silt Strider, a boat, or a Propylon Chamber. Watching the countryside go by got old after about 3 days. I just want to see what happens next in whatever quest I'm on. If I had to watch a Silt Strider moving over the landmass instead of being instantly teleported to where I want to go, I think I'd kill myself.

I just want to further the plot. Pretty Scenery is probably a pretty distant 4th for me.

(Except for the day when I bought a graphics card that can do pixel shading and saw what the water was supposed to look like and sat in the Odai River for about 30 real-time minutes just watching the sun play off the currents.)

Yes, I remember the same day. How wonderful!

I'm not sure if this is true. I may have read it on an interview some time ago, on a wishlist, or just made it up. But! I think they said something about having an option in Oblivion of travelling instantaneously or in real time for fast travel.

Though I doubt they'll have siltstriders. Perhaps your horse will act as a fast travel animal as well as a steed?

Fast travel is in Oblivion. I think it's limited to places you have been though.

Painkiller on 18/9/2005 at 06:06

To each their own, no doubt but...for me, I really liked to experience the place as though I was really there which meant alot of walking. Didn't really mind. Seemed more..."realistic"?

Many times I'd just point myself in a direction and...start walking. Never knew where my feet would take me. :)

RyushiBlade on 18/9/2005 at 06:13

You can travel to all major cities as soon as you start. You can then fast travel to other places of interest. That's what I gathered from the massive amounts of interviews I read.
