Lemmy's unofficial OpenMW community
Let's talk about OpenMW here! Playing it, hacking it, fixing problems, making mods, etc.
About OpenMW:
OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine for the open-world role-playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Like the Construction Set for the original Morrowind engine, OpenMW comes with its own editor, called OpenMW-CS, which allows the user to edit or create their own mods or original games. Both OpenMW and OpenMW-CS are written from scratch, and aren’t made to support any third party programs that have been added to the original Morrowind engine to improve its functionality.
OpenMW is not a “mod” to Morrowind. It is an entirely different game engine that does not use the original Morrowind.exe in any way.
Yeah, that bothered me too!
The thing that makes RWC special to me is that it is a completely distinct entity, legally and actually divorced from Morrowind in all ways. It's the most important part of the story!
