I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up…mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I’m getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you “Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck” no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

    Been playing Book of Hours. Has anyone else played it? The vibes are immaculate but i keep going back and forth on whether or not the actual mechanics are fun or not. Managed to fill out me spreadsheet for all the prentice-level recipes tonight so that was good!

      I gave it a shot since I liked cultist simulator a lot, but it felt kind of slow and messier, so I didn’t stick with it. Also the music wasn’t quite what I wanted and I think that had a lot to do with it.
