>what is this?
Project Cyrodiil: Abecean Shores is a massive, free, fan-made expansion to
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It adds a large chunk of the province Cyrodiil
>how big is it
Not counting water tiles for either, this new area is half the size of the original game. Unlike the original game, Abecean Shores has actual content in its water cells where the original game's water was just empty once you left the coast, which pushes the actual size of the release even further.
>Oblivion was boring
Project Cyrodiil is
not a recreation of the world of
Oblivion, but rather a depiction of Cyrodiil as it was in pre-
Oblivion lore.
>are there quests or is it just an empty land
There's plenty of quests. In-fact there's even a "main quest" of sorts in the Anvil government questline
>how powerful does my character need to be
It is entirely possible to play the new content from level 1.
>what do I need to play this
You need
Morrowind with both official expansions (any modern release, including "Game of the Year Edition", has them), the newest Tamriel Data, and the Abecean Shores release itself. Additionally you will neeed either the very newest (experimental build 0.49, not the "current" 0.48) engine replacement OpenMW (Recommended: Morrowind.exe was never made with the expectation anyone would be this far from the origin and has significant jitter due to point imprecision, and is super unstable even without that issue) or, if you're insisting on using the original engine, MWSE with Morrowind Code Patch, UI Expansion, and Morrowind Graphics Extender to minimize the many issues encountered.
