The Wilderness

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

To do:

Add all pre-release screenshots of dungeons, the wilderness, and most combat encounters.
Take comparison screenshots in the final release of the game and add them to a comparison box.
Note all differences between screenshots between pre-release and the final.

Wilderness#

Early	Final

The shadow no longer shows the skirt in the final. It may be that the Realistic Actor Shadows setting in Morrowind.ini is enabled. It is disabled by default in the final due to it being quite buggy and resulting in things such as floating heads on the shadow models or even slowing down the game.

Early	Final

The editor's user interface has various differences in terms of available tabs and buttons.
The preview window is rendered much darker in the final.
The leveled items listed are almost completely different between the early and final versions.
The NPCs in the early version appear to have generic "Bandit" names whereas the final uses individually named NPCs.
The placements and types of static objects in the cave were significantly revised for the final, although the general dungeon layout remains the same.
The cell "Zaradalk" listed in the early screenshot does not exist in the final. This could mean either the area was scrapped, or got renamed to another dungeon in the final.
The cells for "Zaintiraris" do not appear to exist yet in the early screenshot.
NPC previews did not show equipment.
