Love this project! But I thought openCS meant counter strike at first!

Yes I think the titles for their news articles need adjusting in future to say OpenMorrowind for a start, some people are getting confused.

There might be some problems with that, considering Morrowind is Bethesda's game and they are known to have tried to sue Mojang for naming their game Scrolls. It's silly, but that's just how big companies work these days.

That's correct. We used to call ourselves OpenMorrowind, but that has been change just to avoid any copyright problems.

I meant the titles for the news posts here on GOL, i didn't mean change the project name but not many people know what OpenMW is when they see it.

Maybe something like "OpenMW open source Morrowind engine release x" or something like that in future?

These guys are making rapid progress, and that's awesome! I look forward to the day when I can play an Elder Scrolls game as God intended - natively, on Linux.
