Sure, you could use it. I love Morrowind, and I'm happy that there are people, who continue developing and upgrading this great game.
Good luck!
We got permission!! I am so excited!
So just to double check, any objections to the "image (c) Maxim Nikolaev" bit on the image?
A small credit line on a banner -> not a problem.
A small credit line on a banner on our main page -> not so good. This is the first place a new user comes to and we should not distract them.
I'd really like to keep the image credit where it is. Having the credit there is what I proposed to the artist when i initially contacted him, and asking to change it now is a bit awkward. I've made it smaller in recent revisions, and it's very discrete. We're getting a very gorgeous piece of artwork to use for free, I think this little credit is the least we can do out of appreciation.
But I still think that we should make "Special thanks to:" section to note all this great guys who helped us in the past and will help us in the future.
I went the lazy rout and just did some gradients/curves on the content boxes. What do we think? My design instincts are always to go simple/clean/minimal, but if it just looks bland I can give something more flashy a try. My art skills are a bit lacking though...

I really like the clean lines and the overall colour scheme. Although I feel the content boxes do not sit (rounded/gradient vs flat/sharp) but the latest revision is nicer. From zoomed out it looks right, but at full size it looks a little too separated.
I definitely see what you are saying Rhys, and agree. I do feel like we are getting to the point where further tweaking is largely opinion and not necessity, but I am not satisfied with it yet either, and so I'll keep working. I'll try to make it "flow" more.
