OPENMW MORROWIND. Or dreams sometimes come true.

I love that morrowind fog from the original feels so moody and makes you feel like its the birth of a new day

[@FeatherBed-sc6vd]

You can still have that - just reduce the draw distance ingame 🙂

[@perverse_ince]

@@FeatherBed-sc6vd Another option would be using extreme values for "Zesterer's Volumetric clouds & mist" mod. If you you just want to restrict what you can view i found High Depth of Field and Vignette options to be quite atmospheric

Someday Skywind will be completed, and OpenMW will learn to fully launch the resources of Skyrim and we will come full circle.

[@And-ur6ol]

I look forward to Skyblivion, but I much prefer Morrowinds dice roll combat, so to me, openmw will probably remain the prefered way to experience Vvardenfell

[@denjamin2633]

Eh. Skyrim's combat just bores me to tears. For all it's flaws Morrowind's combat will always feel more satisfying than the foam weapons in the later games.

[@deanreaver3268]

@@denjamin2633 My favorite way to play Skyrim is with Skyrim Vr with a few of the best VR mods. The enemy modles actully move as you hit them with your weapons and when usings maces and warhammers, very satisfying.

[@fosterc1308]

​​@@And-ur6ol Honestly i agree, i will probably try skywind, but Oblivion needs this much much more than morrowind, especially with openmw pretty much making crashes or bugs non existent with morrowind Oblivion had great content, but it seemed like it was programmed like a 3 year old putting legos together Im glad skyblivion is near release too, hopefully nothing changes

[@And-ur6ol]

@@fosterc1308 I agree that Oblivion needs a Skyrim much more. I think of Skyrim more like "Oblivion 2" than I think of Oblivion like "Morrowind 2". Skyrims engine lends itself much better to be a big upgrade to Oblivion. But there is a group working on a Oblivion-Skyrim mod. Skyblivion it is called, and i look forward to that.

[@SloopJohnB91]

I was in 6th grade when Morrowind was released and not until Elden Ring did i have such a magical experience with a game. i recently got Morrowind again on steam with Open MW and some graphics mods and boy does it look good! hearing the music and coo-coo-coo of a cliff racer brought my right back to the mid 2000s!

[@NaCk210]

All I want in morrowind are NPC schedules honestly. It's not a big deal gameplay wise, but I just got too used to oblivion and skyrim in that aspect. Seeing the entire town standing in the middle of the street at 4AM always takes me out of it.

PopulatedVvardenfel helps pad this out in my experience, but I feel there's potential for fully radiant NPCs with voice acting AI (once it's good) or with real VAs. There's so much that can be done with Morrowind and it's been proven. It'll just take time. Lots of time.

[@tandavawalsh0777]

Never seen Morrowind animations soo smooth!

[@And-ur6ol]

Skyrim and Oblivion are playgrounds and themeparks. Morrowind is a destination, a place you visit. Morrowind is the goat, and probably the last and greatest of its type. They just don't make them anymore like they use to.

[@joeydigrado382]

I thought exactly this today while playing fallout New Vegas right after I got done playing Morrowind. Games use to be a Lot better. I'll always play older games.

[@seanjackson4571]

I would love for the expanded areas added to open morrowind to receive a daggerfall style treatment eventually where they are populated with many factions whose alignment toward you the player is changing frequently and often without your knowledge.

[@Zeldarulah]

The only mod Morrowind needs is a searchbar for your inventory and better quest log

[@pritamchakravorty8350]

I'm playing with skyrim ui for morrowind and it comes with a search bar .maybe you can try that

[@cheedandcheed1592]

OpenMW already has that

[@ColeRobertson-il3vd]

I bought an original Xbox just for this game about five years ago. I found the game of the year edition with manual and map for like twenty dollars(!)at a flea market and bought it immediately. It truly is a masterpiece of a game, a real rpg. No detailed maps or gps, you have to talk to everyone to get to where you want to go and to complete quests, customizable armor, weapons and spells. I could go on and on. I really hope that Bethesda remasters morrowind and oblivion before the next elder scrolls comes out, I know it’s a pipe dream but that would be awesome.

[@alphawolf60]

There's a rumour about Oblivion remake but so far nothing about morrowind... But since 6's development just started I hardly think there'd be any MW remake.

[@pomelomarino7710]

I hope they fix the fps drops and the fog someday. Besides those two core elements, it looks amazing.

[@Palendrome]

The FPS seems infinitely better than vanilla when I play. What fog issues are you referring to?

[@pomelomarino7710]

Maybe is the video, but the fps looks far, far lower than vanilla. The ugly, grayish, low-res, vanilla fog. That issue.@@Palendrome

[@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS]

There's a volumetric fog mod for it if that's what you want?

[@pomelomarino7710]

@@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS great mod! But i want the mgexe fog+volumetricfog.

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

Believe it or not, a lot of the fps problems come from unoptimized assets. Morrowind didn't support anything like LODs so most morrowind mods don't, either. That's also why distant land used to be something you had to generate with a long offline bake. With LODs it should be unnecessary to do that even for structures and trees and such. Basically Morrowind is too old to do modern graphics, so it wasn't designed with today's optimizations in mind.

[@SenturosGaviannus]

I think this is what im going to be like in 15 years with Skyrim...

[@StaryBrudnyLis187]

Morrowind Vanilla had character shadows and Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader on the water.... Original Morrowind's water was next level graphic experience when it released, I know that the comparison hits bigger if you turn of pixel shading on the water and don't turn on shadows.

@@josephbrandenburg4373 Talkin' about crashing, the memory leak while equipping stuff was so crashy to me that I literally had to quicksave every time I wanted to ingest a potion, let alone change the armor. Plus vanilla Morrowind at the stability and mechanics levels was complete trash, is still trash and will continue to be trash.

[@Pedrojerico]

Are you comparing vanilla Morrowind with modded opwnMW? I'm not sure I understand what openMW is, does it by itself look identical to the vanilla game?

[@wedding2710]

Basically, yes. It's just a rebuilt version of the Morrowind engine that has been optimized and designed for modern PCs (it also runs on Android). When you install it, you have to point it at your Morrowind directory as it uses the same assets as the base game. I'm sure there are minor changes/imperfections, but by and large it looks the same as vanilla unless or until you mod in custom assets.

[@baitposter]

It's a community made game engine made for Morrowind, and it's also compatible with most existing .esp mods. Lots of QoL improvements & optimizations. Native Lua scripting, too.

[@Jalkoth]

Its a open source port of morrowind thats updated to not only look better but run better on modern hardware

[@netkoizmase8831]

its new engine for morrowind. Game now has 0 bugs and no crashes to desktops.

[@erisk.1707]

prefer Vanilla personally, it already looks better than anything bethesda did since, and some of these graphical updates just kinda make it look weird to me personally, like...it's jsut too bussy and the assets all clash with one another as if they are from different games, really doesn't do it for me personally

[@Nousos]

20 years ago mods were made to make morrowind combat be WHATEVER YOU WANT

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

And Skyrim has weak worldbuilding, underwritten characters, a predictable and uninspired story, and a dull setting. Neither of the two games have good comabt, however.

[@crimson1949]

You can't create your own spells in Skyrim and you can't become a demi-god like you can in Morrowind. That automatically elevates Morrowind for me.
