One of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind's biggest mods just received a major patch, updating it to version 5.2. Morrowind Rebirth is a total overhaul mod, meaning that it significantly alters the game's visuals and gameplay in order to create an altogether new experience. 5.2 of Morrowind Rebirth specifically overhauls the Morrowind areas of Gnisis and Seyda Neen, among other major changes.
The mining town of Gnisis gets a visual overhaul in Morrowind Rebirth version 5.2. It won't substantially change the content of the town, but it looks a lot better. Seyda Neen get a more material overhaul, thematically shifted to be more of a fishing village and port, while also adding a coast guard headquarters as well as a barracks for Imperial Legionaries. 5.2 also adds two new magic tower shields, a St. Meris Shield of Serenity unique item, and the ingredient White Guar Hide.
There are many other changes beyond those big feature additions, however. There have been "hundreds" of visual edits to textures and meshes, dozens of bug fixes, alterations made to Rebirth-exclusive content, and balance changes as well. It's the fourth update since 5.0 of Rebirth launched this past November, making Rebirth one of the best-supported Elder Scrolls mods available.
The Morrowind Rebirth mod isn't necessarily a great option for players to pick up for their first playthrough the game. It's best for players who are well-versed and experienced with Morrowind and who want something more out of it. In that regard, Morrowind Rebirth over-delivers. Morrowind fans can check out the updated version of the mod now.
The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind is available now on PC and the original Xbox.
