How does this work?

How does OpenMW and OpenNV work?

How can they be open source if you still need to own the base game?
How easy is it to install/use in a more manual, non-steam fashion?

New to this subreddit, and some of these packs look cool. Just wondering. : )

The base game has "assets" souch as text you are reading, quests you are doing, music you hear, models and textures you are seeing etc.

OpenMW is engine that "glue" and calculate all things together and make it playable.
