📋 About This Mod



This is my one (and only) major modathon entry in this year's Morrowind May Modathon. I genuinely hope you all enjoy!

IF YOU HAVE NOT UPDATED FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION YET, DO SO! THE LUA UPDATE HAS BROKEN PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

If you are updating from a previous version, make sure to delete the  Data Files/MWSE/lua/VabaAmus folder.

Vaba-Amus is a scrib. A degenerate shell of a creature on the fringe of depression and melancholy. A man who has fallen into the depths of depravity. A good potential drinking buddy!

In Vaba-Amus, you will not find a combat challenge. Instead, you will face the trials of dealing with an addled scrib whose daily life is filled with strange and unusual happenings. You will not find a massive, province-spanning quest to save all of Vvardenfell here: indeed, most of the quests in this mod take place in the trade city of Suran. This mod is more social than combat-oriented, so beware!

Requires Morrowind Script Extender (MWSE) and Morrowind Code Patch (MCP). Morrowind Graphics Extender XE (MGE XE) is recommended for a certain feature (Warp shader) to work.

This mod ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES the "Service Refusal Filtering" patch in Morrowind Code Patch to function properly.

See the image included in the archive for instructions on installing the warp shader.

This mod requires the newest version of MWSE. Get it in the download link below. Outdated versions of MWSE will not work.
