Noob question about sailing

[rkimbal45]

Hello all. I'm a bit of a noob. I have over the years played a little of the pirates game(sea dogs2) and i recently rediscovered it after playing fallout and realizing..hey, Bethesda made this. So since my xbox barely works anymore I'm starting to mess with the PC version of POTC and I have a couple of questions.

1. How would you say POTC compares to morrowind or obivion or fallout? I mean I know they aren't anything alike, but I mean in terms of the feel. freedom to quest,things like that.

2. are the build mods worth it? I see build 13 and 14 around are the additives really good?

3. (and this is the one I'm really curious about) if you sail in realtime mode in POTC can you go from one island to another without using the world map? does day and night change as you go?

Thanks all.

1. I have Morrowind and Oblivion on my computer but I don't play them anywhere near as much as PotC

2. Yes they are definantly worth it. Build 14 Alpha 9 adds 4 more playable storylines 2 semi playable and 1 open playable as well as the original storyline.
It also adds heaps of really cool features like the different flag mod

3. Yes you can sail from one island to another without entering the worldmap and time does pass (BUILD MOD FEATURE)

1. Can't answer that question; never played those games.

2. In one word: yes. The Build mod fixes many of the problems with the original game and adds
incredible amounts of new content and features. The total size does give a good indication of the amount we've added.
The Build Mod increases the game size by over 200%.
Have a look at our Build 14 ModDB page to see a list of some of the stuff we've recently added.

3. In the stock game you can't and this was long thought to be impossible in the game engine.
However, CouchcaptainCharles managed it anyway and this feature is included in the Build 14 editions.

i'd say that morrowind and fallout are more developed, but it's really just a matter of time before the mods catch up. the mods do have issues with the player losing focus of the main quest though, since it's not as big as in most other games and there's so much other stuff to do.
