Keep in mind that things have changed since these pictures were taken.
Vanilla Fixes
* "Ex_co_ship_trapdoorb" in Frostmoth docs have been replaced with "Act_Ex_DE_ship_trapdoor". "Ex_co_ship_trapdoorb" is scripted colony door and a part of Bloodmoon's mainquest.
* "chargen_plank" is duplicated in Frostmoth, so when the script "CharGenClassNPC" runs, "chargen_plank" is randomly removed from either Seyda Neen or Fort Frostmoth docks.
* The "Five Fingers of Pain" spell used to "damage health". I've changed this to "drain health". Also raised the spellcost from 7 points to 20.
* Gondolier's Helm were marked as "medium armor". I don't know about you but since when did a straw-hat protect you from anything?
* goblin_shield_durgok_uni were incorrectly named "Goblin Shield", when it should have been "Durgok's Shield".
* Mornsu Omalor, a Dark Elf in the cave of Nammu carried 12 (!) bows, but only one arrow.
* Dolmesa Sarano, a Dark Elf in "Halit Mine" were incorrectly set as hostile.
* Zallit Assattadaishah, a Dark Elf at the Ghostgate should be an "Ashlander".
* Removed the smoke from Gorak Manor, there's no active fire inside.
* Removed several chimneys' in Pelagiad, some houses had no fireplaces.
* Changed the name of the small "Drum" to "Guarskin Drum" to fit with the other, larger drum.
* Some pieces of the Imperial Chain Armor set had the wrong AR value, fixed from 20 to 12.
* The Imperial Chain Armor Pauldrons had the wrong weight which made them count as "Heavy Armor".
* The Mace of Slurring didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Karpal's Friend didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Sword of Agustas didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.
* Wind of Ahaz didn't have "Igonores Normal Weapon Resistance" checked in the CS.

Rebirth Fixes
* Removed a few items that didn't fit in very good with this game (wooden shield, wall of the eyeless, piano (wtf?) and some other small misc items.
* NPC's in Pelagiad, Guild of Mages, will now provide you with some services as enchanting and spellmaking.
* Fixed a rather serious bug I made when changing the setting value for unarmored skill.
* The Travel Agent in Seyda Neen will now let you travel to Pelagiad for a small fee.

* A new grand entrence to the city of Vivec.
* Various improvements in Gnaar Mok.
* New creature, the Stone Crab.
* New Tavern in Suran.
Balancing
Weapons/Armor
* The enchantments on "Trebonius' Staff" and the mace "Light of Day", were seriously overpowered, making the player able to cast the enchantment a 100 (!) times until you run out of charges. I've made changes so you can "only" cast the enchantment 20 times.
* Most enchanted weapons and armor had stats than were lower than their counterparts. In some cases they were also less valuable. Fixed so they share the same stats and are a bit more valueable (based on the enchantment).
- Example: The "Fireblade" worn by "Buoyant Armiger" is a steel shortblade, but its stats were actually much worse than the steel shortblade.
* Changed the name of a Nordic Silver Battle Axe to "Heartfang", as it was supposed to be an artifact, thus the change.
* The regular Bonemold shield were much more valueable than its "house" counterparts, value changed from 600 to 250.
* Raised the enchantment points a bit for glass/ebony/daedric staffs to make them more useful for mages.
* The Bonemold Long Bow were seriously overpowered with 400 enchantment points, changed it to 80.
* The dwarven mace "Clutterbane" had an error which made it impossible to use its enchantment.
* Stalhrim weapons had a weight that didn't made sense if you compared them to their armor counterparts.

- Stalhrim Mace weight from 65 to 12
- Stalhrim Longsword weight from 70 to 15
* Gave Volendrung an enchantment (It had no enchantment) similar to the one in Daggerfall.
* Stalhrim armor set were refered to as "Ice" in-game, changed to "Stalhrim"
* The Longbow were less valuable than the Shortbow, which made no sense.

- Adamantium AR from 40 to 50
- Stalhrim AR from 50 to 55
* A massive value nerf to high-end weapons.

Exploits

* You could find not only one, but two "sword of the white woe" in Balmora, I removed one of these. Also moved the remaining one to a more secure location where the guard can see it.
* You can no longer steal the Ebony cuirass in Dren's Villa by sneaking behind the pillar. It's not realistic anyway since Orvas Dren is just a few feet away.

Ah, yes. Political Correctness comes to Morrowind at last. :-)
awsome
i can now safley say that morrowind rebirth beats oblivion/skyrim hands down with a graphics/content to match and waaay better topic options
Morrowind has always had better mods and support from the moddling community. Oblivion to me was too blocky with a zooming face feature that I did not care for. Fallout 3 was also too blocky? And Fallout New Vegas was really broken with voiced dialog? Skyrim I'm running on XP at low res. so I can't give a good review. But will try it out on the XBOX 360.
Agreed. I hated Oblivion, it felt like some generic medieval rpg. It wasn't "alien" enough. However I belive they did a great job with Shivering Isles.
I actually loved and still love Fallout 3. It had its flaws but with mods its probably among my top 5 games ever.
New Vegas was pretty good, though it were riddled with bugs and issues. I can't even start it through steam nowadays lol.
Skyrim did a better job than Oblivion (although the setting is somewhat familiar), but it lacks depth and there's too little room for customization. The perk system was a new and fresh idea, but the implementation was really bad. Although with mods Skyrim can be pretty fantastic.
yes Shivering Isles gave me such a different experience that it was mesmerizing, but the whole time playing Oblivion (expect maybe a very short time in the beginning) "Morrowind was never this generic! Why did I not finish that game anyways?". Its not just the weaker (and alot less) dialogue, medieval GPS device and the leveled loot/enemies (making every encounter feel generic), but the main story fell short by a mile.
New Vegas is one those games that I actually stopped playing before getting to the end which is very rare for me. I felt like Vegas area is to small and everything else feels a bit to hollow. Again not enough side quests, not enough dialogue to give it the fleshing out it needs. Atleast Oblivion had books to read. Old World Radio almost changed my mind with 100+ hours of extra audio work. I'll probably come back to it eventually.
Fallout 3 was pretty good because of its side quests, while the main story while interesting at first sort of felt hollow by the end and really did not give a proper send off for all the trials and tribulations who had to go through to reach that point.
What sort of Skyrim mods do you use?
Fallout 3 - I really enjoyed but found the engine to be blocky and jarring - the same for New Vegas with it's broken voiced dialog - the main quest and DLC's in Fallout 3 were very entertaining and overall the game was very enjoyable.
Dishonored & Rage - I have not played yet. I'll wait till I get a new computer or an X-BOX 360. The same for Assassin's Creed 2&3, which I know is not a Bethesda Game.
Thief - I have to mention because it is still my favorite game that I play all the time. Thief I-III and of course Thief IV: The Dark Mod Project based upon the Doom 3 Engine.
I use very little Skyrim Mods, except expanded cities! Again because I'm playing it at low res. on a XP. Will have to wait for a new computer or X-Box 360.
Oblivion I played alot but found little that I would like to add to the game, agree it was generic! Knight of The Nine I enjoyed greatly and think it was a good addon. Shivering Isles, while I liked the weird landscape and both cities Bliss and Crucible, I found it disturbing and not a good main quest.
Morrowind - Still holds some strange attraction for me. And there are a ton of mods for the game. I only played it all the way through once, but can't seem to get past the first town without making changes ... I feel the same way about the whole game in general.
Daggefall - To me is the ultimate game. Not only to the tons of side quest, main quest, expanded landmass that takes you across the whole Illaic Bay. But tons of twisting dungeons and crypts. The game is just endless in options and thing to do. The only handicap is the 2D Graphics. If they took the core of this game and updated the graphics to DX11 ... it would Skyrim out of the water!
Arena - While I enjoyed the game, I found the mist Fog of War limiting in gameplay. But still the best RPG game to come out in it's day.
Amazing :D Dude you worked a lot on this, i give you all my respect! :)
Will there be a readme with all the changes?
Yes, I'll try to wrap something up and add it to the "features" section. Thanks for the reminder.
