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.
Morrowind is incredible. One of the most fun gameplay systems I've encountered in any game, in spite of some jank.
Have you tried Tamriel Rebuilt? That's probably the best mod ever made for any video game in terms of quality and quantity of content.
I've been playing modded Skyrim recently. I did not like it when I first played it, but becoming more familiar with the lore after Morrowind showed me TES is pretty interesting makes it better. It's a fun game, but both the writing and gameplay took large steps backwards in complexity in disappointing ways since Morrowind. If there's one thing that can be said about Skyrim however, is that it can look gorgeous.
...I probably should have played Oblivion first instead tbh, but oh well.
The guy who made Morrowind so interesting left after Morrowind, so the lore really goes down hill. But goddamn if his post-bethesda shroom fueled lore rants aren't the greatest shit ever
MK? I'm glad he's gone. And IIRC kurt kuhlmann was the real lorebrain (unfortunately, kuhlmann left recently) even according to that MK creep.
problem with MK
