Morrowind Mod of the Day - Dynamic Actors Showcase

Morrowind has a lot of dialogue, from quests to lore to basic gossip, the NPCs have a ton to say in the vanilla game. But for all that time you'll spend reading dialogue, there's not much happening on-screen, for Morrowind essentially freezes the game when dialogue begins, characters frozen mid-walk, a static image with naught moving except the occasional bit of text.

While I personally prefer text-based dialogue, this frozen static screen is a bit dated by today's standards, and that's where today's Mods of the Day come in, for today we're showcasing Dynamic Actors by Taitechnic and Interface Reimagined for OpenMW by Eledin.

This pair of mods both overhauls the visuals of dialogue, streamlining and modernizing the dialogue interface, and animates the scene with the world still moving in the background and actors taking poses while you speak to them.

Far from the static world of before, these mods turn conversations into more immersive experiences, as you stop to chat with NPCs with visible animations and the world continues to move about you as you do so.

This is a fantastic pair of mods, with plenty of features, from the ability to re-position the camera during dialogue, to zooming in on NPC faces, and having your own player character perform poses. If you're on OpenMW, these mods are a must-have!
