While this is arguably a poor use of my time, I enjoy the processand technically it is productive.
Great for me as an avid readme reader, less exciting for website readers.
And the mod’s download page has only a single muddy screenshot to show.
I did not expect this to take so long.
First problem, Morrowind is a 20-year-old game.
Off to the pretty coastal city of Vivec!
The teleport cheat dumps me near a nice bay with a wee island.
Because I’m in my starter gear, I am instantly supermurdered.
Morrowind’s camera is not conducive to photography.
Rather than hunt for camera mods, I remember a useful console command.
I was very pleased to think of this solution.
After a few snaps, I have a screenshot I’m happy with.
Finally, time to record a video.
Rather than hunt for mudcrabs, I use console commands to spawn a load.
But now I’m not only herding a cat, I’m herding AI-controlled crustaceans too.
Many crabfights come out poorly on video.
I ended up with loads of naff takes looking broadly like this:
Not good enough.
It’s not that I think the video I ended up making is amazing, but it’s better.
It’s a video I think is good enough for a post.
I’m finally done.
I think it was worth it.
An invaluable use of my time!
Now I just need a fun video clip for our tweet about this post…
