Great to see that this project is still going on strongly as ever 
Again I wonder how on earth are those guys going to implement all the npcs and quests. One of the most challenging aspects for them is figuring out how to design morrowind's dialog system. I wonder if Skyrim's user interface can even support something like that..

Pooey, I can't view youtube's unless they're embedded on the site. Couch is messing with me
Just thought I'd throw this out here, but if you you can't view videos on Youtube.com itself because of network/admin rules, but the videos work files if embedded on other sites, it may be worth looking at using nsfwyoutube.com, at least until said admin finds out and treats that site the same.
Basically you just add "nsfw" to the front of a youtube URL so..

I'm conflicted regarding this project. Like Dez I wonder how they can manage to include the vast amounts of npcs and dialogue. Also I dont know what they can improve upon morrowind+mods. Maybe slightly better combat and graphics. But certainly with drawbacks like less realistic bodies more generic style. Does someone know if they are going to change the balance and content of morrowind or just try to copy vanilla?

It's one of the projects which I would LOVE to see realised but success rate of such mods is abysmal...

Wheeee!
Looks wonderful! Graphics designers love to do this kind of stuff. Great for the resume. Gameplay, not so much.
They can improve a lot. Skyrim's graphics engine is light years ahead of Morrowind. This is Morrowind built using the Skyrim engine modding tools, in case you weren't aware.

Well, it's more like a Morrowind mod for Skyrim. I don't have high hopes for it if it's anything like the Dragonborn DLC in feel. I'd rather wait for Open Morrowind.
What is that?
Well, you can have 0.9.5.0.1

Sure, you can also have 0.9.9.9.9.9.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.
But, as with my original question, why?
If you have 95 cents - you pretty much have a dollar, right?
If you really have 2 cents, then you're using the wrong numbers.

No idea DArt but there is a disclaimer posted under this video: "This version is NOT available for public release, and does NOT mean it is close to a release."

It's mostly psychological: the actual numbers used matter not one whit. They just need to clearly designate major and minor releases of particular code bases.
This! These guys have art assets and nothing else. It seems silly to have a 0.9 which would suggest it is 1/10th away from being complete when it is more like 98% from being complete.
