Broke out the old copy for a replay on a whim and after 18 years the cd is scratched to poo poo. Setup doesn't work directly off the disk but for some reason is fine copied and run from my HD. Weird but okay. Resisted the temptation to go with a thousand mods right off the bat and have gone with a comparatively light data files folder: mgexe, those awesome ai textures and tamriel rebuilt. I did have project atlas but that made balmora look like poo poo and offered no appreciable fps boost so gently caress it.
It's just as good as I remember. I get that same giddy feeling I did as a 12 year old starting that first dark elf character. The difference is now I don't spend the first couple of hours of the game scraping together septims for great because not I know how trivial it is to become an alchemical god making infinite money out of meat potions

I haven't played Arena, but I've spent at least 100 hours on every other main line Elder Scrolls game and haven't beaten any of them.

I tried daggerfall today because it's free on the Bethesda launcher. Started a new game, was almost immediately killed by an imp that was immune to my weapon. Cool, I'll try again in another few years

I'll admit when I spent 100+ hours on Daggerfall Morrowind didn't exist. I've tried playing it again a couple times recently and couldn't get into it in the same way I did in the 90's.

Maybe try Skygerfall

As I am a mere child of 30, morrowind was my first elder scrolls game and the first game I bought myself. I've tried daggerfall several times but only once made it out of the first dungeon. It's brutal.

Talos reached heaven through violence and Vivec wants Nerevar to follow the same path because Vivec specifically thinks of it as lesser, brutal and easily manipulated. He's not necessarily correct and I think it's a fair assumption to guess that he's scared that he's wrong

Sermon 37 makes this pretty explicit imo and Michael Kirkbride has basically confirmed that he wrote it

But Talos has an oversoul of three Shezzarine souls stacked up into one.

The fact that they're working on a way for people to make standalone games with this engine is neat, there are some talented creators out there that only have experience creating mods for the Elder Scrolls-games.

Distant land that doesn't eat frames :eyepop:

I guess the other stuff is cool too

It's ridiculous how well openmw with all the bells and whistles runs compared to original MW with MGE. 60fps everywhere. I get like 30 in Balmora with MGE.

Has OpenMW caught up to MGE?

Openmw's new distant land feature is better than MGE. You can't slap a bunch of shaders on top of everything in openmw though.

In terms of performance openmw shits on MGE

I got groundcover to work. So now I just have to say that with OpenMW 0.47 you basically dont have to generate grass, nor any distant land. You basically have the equivelent of DynDOLOD. Yet the game has very few player animation mods and NO CAPE MODS!

Cape mods all look like poo poo

Is it recommended to use OpenMW for someone who's never played through this game? I've played it as a kid but never got past 20 hours. Those 20 hours were just screwing around, looting, and doing some random quests. I never got far into the actual game

I have the GOTY edition and plan to play Vanilla (no mods). Not being able to play windowed and alt tab easily kind of sucks and I heard OpenMW solves that. Does OpenMW change much? I know its a different engine

Playing vanilla there's no reason not to use OpenMW. It's the same game but stable and prettified.

If you fully tricked out Morrowind with all the best graphics mods, what would be the system requirements for that on max settings?

I used to run a mega juiced morrowind with a 1660 super at great framerates. Not appreciably any better with a 3070ti and 3800x
