Thought I had bookmarked the video and mod page when I first saw it but I can't find either one for the life of me. Looking around I see there are shiploads of Morrowind graphic mods around now but I'm 95% sure it was this bad boy right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzt5a_TpH5s It seems it only works with the Steam version of the game which sucks because I still have the original retail copy. Their web page is here: http://www.ornitocopter.net/morrowind-overhaul/ Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a spin.
