I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

    Tomorrow I've got a game of High Frontier, a space exploration game. Features actual rocket equation stuff as you build up your spaceship and yeet your astronauts to various rocks around the solar system to set up advanced space-based manufacturing.

    Friday I'm playing some 1849: Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, where you compete as robber barons to build railroads in 19th century Italy. Features tons of stock market fuckery, like true capitalism!

    Saturday will be a session of Dune, the classic game of war and intrigue on our favorite desert planet. I'll be trying out one of the newest expansion factions, the dastardly House Moritani.
