8 Better Dialogue Font
Given the age of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, it's not surprising that some of its small aspects were overlooked. Back in 2002, HD was becoming popular, and 4K resolution was unheard of. A game that is this old is bound to have a few flaws.
One significant flaw of the game is that the writing is not very clear. Nexus Mods user Hmchamd ingeniously decided to integrate easier to read dialogue into the game. Even old games like Diablo have difficult to read text. It seems like a small change, but it drastically improves the game and saves you from unwanted eye strain.
