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.

    I’ve been playing through the PS2 Tony Hawk games. I beat THPS3 and THUG and am starting on THPS4 now (my least favorite). Still having a blast, so I imagine I’ll also go through THUG2 (never played) and American Wasteland (a better game than the way its talked about).

    Probably going to play Dragons Dogma 2 this week though.

    Morrowind/openmw rules. I agree with you, everyone should give it a shot. The combat feels weird because it’s a dice roll, but there’s a cadence you can get into that feels satisfying. That might just be nostalgia talking though.

      As long as you’re playing to your build your chance to hit will be quite high and it becomes a non-issue.
