Morrowind Mod of the Day - The UnderCity Showcase
288In the autumn of 2002, Morrowind's first expansion, Tribunal, was released to the public, introducing a new city, the capital of Mournhold to Morrowind's game-world. But under than thin veneer, Tribunal was at heart a massive dungeon mod, with a labyrinth of interconnected dungeons, from sewers to crypts, Daedric shrines, Dwemer halls, and more.
That old-school dungeon delving design was somewhat passable in 2002, but under the harsh light of the modern day, Tribunal's dungeons are an exhausting experience, lacking detail and distinction.
Today's Mod of the Day aims to modernize those old Tribunal dungeons, for today we're showcasing the massively sprawling dungeon overhaul mod The UnderCity by Lord Zarcon.
Covering over 40 of Tribunal's vanilla dungeon interiors, The UnderCity is the largest overhaul for Tribunal's dungeons to date, vastly reworking and rebuilding huge swathes of the sewers and ruins beneath Mournhold.
No longer bland and anonymous caverns, you'll now discover epic vistas on your journeys through the UnderCity, massive ruinous halls, verticality-inducing chambers, forbidden and forgotten shrines, fortified goblin outposts, and much, much more.
Not only does the UnderCity overhaul the dark depths beneath Mournhold, but it also expands it, with some dozen new interiors for you to delve through, promising new encounters and new treasures for you to discover!
This is by far and away the largest dungeon mod of the 2024 Morrowind Modathon Modding Competition, and it is a beautiful and atmospheric makeover of a long neglected part of the vanilla game. To say the least, if you're planning to play through the Tribunal expansion, it is an absolute must-have!
