    Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.

    Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.

      It’s been years since I played. Will OpenMW work with original MW mods, and if not what does it’s modding scene look like?

          Ooh, good to know. Might have to actually try it out sometime. It’s been years since I played Morrowind.

      Doesn’t change the fact that Skyrim is a lot more accessible for new players.

      There is a reason why Skyrim is still one of the most played games on Steam at this time (after 14 years) and Morrowind is not.

        It is however why there’s like a small group of morrowind guys still fitzing around with mods and updated engines for it.
