It's about OpenMW, the open source game engine to play Morrowind on.
I take issue with the clickbait title and am ready to perform an "Umm... actually". Morrowind featured controller support for years via the Xbox. It didn't just get it. Heck, it still doesn't officially support controllers on PC. I wouldn't even call OpenMW devs "modders".
My stupid gripe aside, for those who don't know, you can pop in an OG Morrowind Xbox disk into any generation of Xbox console and it'll play. Series X will even boost the resolution up to nearly 4K (1920p).
I read about this last night and decided to finally give Morrowind another shot. I’ve got about 6 hours of playtime and I really did enjoy it when I was playing it but I couldn’t get hooked for some reason. I downloaded OpenMW 0.50.0 last night and I’m doing a new playthrough, hoping I get hooked this time. I really want to get into this game more.
Ah, the old adage holds true: everytime Morrowind is mentioned, someone starts a fresh install.
I bounced off it several times until I watched an 8 hour video essay on it (not in one sitting, mind you). I finally completed the main quest on my next playthrough and really enjoyed it.
I’ll give the video a watch (or part way through anyway) when I get off work today, maybe it’ll help. Thanks for the link.
I love how this 8 hour long video is called "a quick retrospective", lol. Sure the gametime is ten times this at least, but it still made me smile.
Fucking click bait title. Fucks sake. Even the article mentions morrowwind in the title.
That's because everyone knows that morrowind is the best Bethesda game.
Yeah the game had controller support for years through OpenMW. It is the reason I went back to play morrowind 2 years ago. I guess they added some new features on the controller aspect of it which is cool though.
I've really been enjoying playing Diablo 1 with a gamepad using DevilutionX (which is mentioned in the article), so this is a welcome addition for me.
