I’ve been playing morrowind on openmw since 2013. It’s such a fantastic project. It’s a stable and clean way to experience morrowind, but half the enjoyment is in the community surrounding it. The video updates have been a cherished ritual for me for many years now. And the website has a very thoughtful atmosphere with the strider lurking overhead. It’s honestly been an important part of my life. And this of course was all preceded by my original fascination with morrowind, which is certainly one of the finest video games ever made despite its user-hostile qualities. The soundtrack has never been equaled. The game was made in a time when video games weren’t a billion dollar industry and where the nature of the game reflected the nature of the people who made it — and morrowind was made by a band of intellectuals, idealists and pioneers. It simply does not happen that way anymore in mainstream games.
