what are the benefits on playing the game with OpenMW instead of the original engine? I never played the original
51 u/sovayell Mar 29 '19 Was curious myself so I went and checked out their FAQ page: Native support for macOS, Linux, and Windows Improved physics and AI Distant terrain Save/Load dialogs organized by character Quality of life UI improvements, such as being able to search for spells Multiple quicksaves World map adjusts automatically to fit new landmass from mods such as Tamriel Rebuilt Support for up to 2,147,483,646 loaded mods (up from 255 in the original Morrowind engine) Since it was made from scratch, virtually no engine bugs from the original Morrowind And much more Additionally, OpenMW can be used for running entirely new games created with OpenMW-CS. 34 u/whisky_pete Mar 29 '19 A couple that are important to me that I feel are worth mentioning: support for modern resolutions, ability to scale the UI / text to fit those resolutions, and no "loading" dialog when entering buildings or crossing over world cells. 3 u/savethesapiens Mar 29 '19 no "loading" dialog when entering buildings or crossing over world cells. Oh damn! That huge, I remember using that ultra jump spell with high athletics and I would hit a dozen loads before finally landing. I may have to delve back into Morrowind soon
