Tamriel Rebuilt Featured in PC Gamer UK!

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:36 pm

Yes, Tamriel Rebuilt made PC Gamer UK Magazine's Top 50 Single-Player Mods list! Our Morrowind project topped in at number 4, whose entry also included a mention of our Oblivion project.

We would like to take this time to congratulate all the other mods on the list as well, especially our fellow Elder Scrolls project--Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul--which came in at number 29.

Great modding all, and congratulations!

I knew this would be the sort of thing they liked. I'll have to get a copy now.

Edit: no.4, f*** me

yea, i wonder who came in top3? im guessing Gary's Mod is up there, but i cant think of anything else thats really famous

I spent about half and hour trying to track down a link, but found nothing. Even PC Gamers own site didn't even have a listing for the article, let alone the article itself.

but 4th place, wow! Heres to recognician, CHEERS!

Europa Barbarorum for Rome:Total War is a good bet.

I am indeed also curious as to who is in the top 3. Also, holy shit that's a big name magazine and we're number 4.

I wish I was in Britain so I could get a copy (or had enough money to pay a British person to mail me a copy)

Wow that's awesome!

Congratulations to all of you, guys!

Anyone as a link to this PC Gamer?

Didn't Counter-Strike start as a mod? Or does it not count now that it has been franchised?

The amazing thing is that there are only 3 other mods which are considered superior to TR.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:14 pm

seriously, someone find out the top 3 and post them.

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:15 pm

I'm pretty sure one of their regular journos is a big Morrowind fan, [url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/06/23/a-fool-in-morrowind-day-1-trousers/]he wrote this[/url] story in which he apparently uses every mod out there to ghastly effect.

Awesome... number 4 is really great.

Europa Barbarorum for Rome:Total War is a good bet

I would also like to put my money on Europa Barbarorum. EB is a very well designed mod and it's makers didn't even the convenience of a construction set to make it.

*taps foot*

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 12:33 am

I haven't, but i'll take a sneaky look at the article when i'm in town tomorrow. I expect someone else will have seen it by then.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 12:35 am

excellent, thank you.

Go team!

Oh snap!, I need to pick up a copy of this ASAP

I said it once and I'll say it again: "GOD We're Awesome"

That's a pretty cool feat, being mentioned in a national magazine. Free advertisement.

1. Portal Prelude - Portal
2. The Nameless Mod - Deus Ex
3. Eclipse - Half Life 2
4. Us
5. Minerva Metastasis - Half Life 2

"Early Elder Scrolls games could include the entire continent of Tamriel because so much of the world was randomly generated. As later games included more handcrafted content, their scope narrowed. The Tamriel Rebuilt team are recreating those missing areas, beginning with huge areas of mainland Morrowind missing from Elder Scrols III: Morrowind. They've completed two areas so far, with new quests and new characters, all lovingly detailed. A small island for Oblivion is also complete."

Just if you wanted to know.

I'd still like that full scan...

That's so awesome

Extremely impressive. I guess PC Gamer must have a Morrowind fanboy.

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:01 am

awesome, thanks michaleson

Post by **Swiftoak** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:27 am

I don't think we get PCG UK in Canada. We get PCG US :S

Anyways that's good news indeed. Way to go us!

A scan would be nice!

RelinQ · Post by **RelinQ** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 5:55 am

Whats the Edition!? the Sempteber one? someone TELL ME >.<

Im going to get my overseas family to get me a copy hopefully.

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 6:36 am

I'm pretty sure it's the October edition. I don't think they'd wait until October 1st to release the September edition.

RelinQ · Post by **RelinQ** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 6:43 am

Oh....yeah, you make a valid point. I seem to be loosing track of the days (.... and months) recently.

Cheers

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:50 am

The November one is in the shops already, could be that. I was gonna have a peek but they're all wrapped up in plastic and I can't afford to buy a copy. I was trying to sneakily get it open in the shop but I thought better of it.

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:11 pm

I think I may have to go and buy that...

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:25 pm

I'm pretty sure we have a version of PCgamer here in Aus. I'll have to see if the article made it into the local version. Hey RelinQ, I'll race ya

RelinQ · Post by **RelinQ** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:28 pm

Well we might dude, I can get imports pretty easy, but when I checked locally today we only get he US version D=.

Im going to look within the city, I know a few places, otherwise I'll import.

Katze · Post by **Katze** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 1:18 pm

JD, considering each regional version of PC Gamer is made by different journalists entirely, I doubt they'll share features.

Wow, makes me wanna come back

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 7:08 pm

you totally should (or at least get on IRC)

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:24 pm

I need to get a new IRC program, I've not been on the IRC since I left Firefox and its in-browser IRC for Chrome.

Slartibartfast · Post by **Slartibartfast** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 2:30 pm

Congrats on getting the no.4 slot, which i think is great considering only a small portion of your mod has been released. Surely number 1 when the rest is released ?

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 11:56 pm

That's awesome.
