Morrowind over OpenMW.

And Human Resource Machine.

Open source Morrowind game engine OpenMW releases 0.39.0

Quoting: denyasisHow is the mod support? I still play Morrowind via wine with a lot of mods and utilities (FPS optimizer, wyremash, etc - could never get MGE to work...)
I'm not sure about this.

I've never used mods the first time I played Morrowind (on Windows) many years ago.

And it's now I'm playing on Linux when I first use mods : Morrowind Overhaul 3.0 expecifically.

I know that packs not merelly "mods" (in the content file sense only) but includes utilities and patches to the Windows Morrowind.exe file that extend somewhat its functionality and changes some game mechanics.

But even if I needed Windows to run Overhaul installer, I'm playing it exclusively on Linux, with OpenMW so I can't tell you what differences are.

And trying to compare the two versions could be tedious : the savegame files were incompatible between vanilla and OpenMW. So trying to compare things on advanced game, far from the start, will imply replay the game to that particular point, just to see if efect X (only seen far from start) applies to OpenMW.

My guess is it lacks the mechanics thing.

I'm currently playing Morrowind over OpenMW 0.38 and goes really well.

Sometimes you could see some graphic glitch, but overall, the game is fully playable to the end.

The fact is, this program runs better than the original on modern machines.
You can play on a 64 bit rig with more than 4 GB RAM without issues nor unexpected halts to desktop.

It also supports a lot of community mods.

I'm using Morrowind Overhaul 3.0, with which the game looks gorgeus.

I think I will have to purchase a copy of Morrowind myself to try out now, as OpenMW seems like it's very playable. I originally played Morrowind on the original Xbox and loved it, so hopefully it holds up.
I really recomend it.

PS : So ... now where's TheBoss? :D

Wow a 20% drop between December & February of people who bought games on Steam, that's not a good sign for Valve.
December is Chritsmas' sale month.

An how do you know if you have the Lifetime Edition?

I don't have Steam, so downloaded the installer via web in my library of HumbleBundle.

When I run the game it said there's new stories to download.

As the game menu's said, I made an account and download the new "stories" (missions and stuff).

Could that new stuff be part of that extra DLC of Lifetime Edition or I'm wrong?

PS : It's the blind of me, or this game has such an annoining small font?

What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?
