I currently have access to editors for Arcanum, NWN, and Morrowind. I am no computer programmer.

 

I want to know which of these editors is the best, in your opinion, to learn. And if anyone would be interested in a small joint project. possibly a tavern, military outpost, or brothel.

Well, I haven't messed with Arcanum's but Neverwinter Nights is the easiest of the two that I have used though not as powerful as Morrowind's. You could easily do a small village, with basic dialog and transitions in less than a hour or two.

2. SOU

 

3. NWN

 

 

 

55. RPGMaker

 

 

 

 

 

 

1000. Arcanum

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 million. Morrowind

What's 4th?

Hmmm?

I don't think he got it...

 

Seriously, NWN is by far the best editor. It's easy, there are a ton of people still using it to get help from, there are piles and piles of mods available to build your own game with, and it still looks pretty nice.

The environments in NWN seem so flat, though. And repetitive. Or have I simply been biased by the official campaign?

There are some pretty impressive hakpacks out there you can use to add variety. I even managed to build a village into the side of a mountain with minimal stepped pyramid effect.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Yeah, the campaign was weak, people have improved the engine a ton, and it really is super easy to set up a basic campaign.

There are editor tools for Dungeon Siege as well. Not only can you build a complete stand-alone game, but you can replace the entire combat engine.

Thanks for all the comments. I have to say that one of the most annoying feature s of the Morrowind editor is that when you drop in new terrain it arrives at different heights. Simply laying down a flat surface takes forever.

 

I'm starting to drift towards NWN. Which is a shame, because I prefer the character system in MW.

There is a tool someone developed to create terrain in Morrowind called Litoral that is supposed to be quite good.

 

Terrain in Oblivion is supposed to be improved even more, with natural vegitation that doesn't have to be hand-placed.

You prefer buggy and grotesquely unbalanced character systems?

What's funny is I'm not fat. In fact, I'm skinny. Though I am as healthy as cna be. Outside of being very ugly, and the common cold once in the blue moon I simply don't get sick."
