As part of the deal Bethesda agreed that the assets would only be used in Morrowind and were obligated to prevent any of these assets from being used in other games.Īs a result such utilities have generally been avoided in this community.
From my understanding it has to do with them licensing some of the Morrowind assets from other companies. I had no wish to argue with Bethesda on the matter.īethesda aren't spiteful and they must have had a good legal/law related reason why they made this request. You needed to own both games in order for the utility to work but Bethesda personally requested that the utility be taken down. However, a case came up a few years back with such a utility called 'Morroblivion' that helped users port content from Morrowind to Oblivion. I personally have no issue with utilities that require you to have both games and that help you to port content yourself.
What are the rules on utilities that facilitate porting? I'd imagine the nexus will shut down any ported assets, they've done it for Morrowing to Oblivion and Fallout 3 to New Vegas stuff so I wouldn't be suprised if they do the same here.
