I can't confirm that the patch works, but it's likely, as OpenMW runs fine with this esm. Perhaps I'll notice a few differences "under the hood" later.Īs an aside: The Morrowind copy I'm using for Arktwend has the Unofficial Morrowind Patch (version 1.6.6) activated. With that said, I still don't see any visual differences between OpenMW Morrowind and native Morrowind (both run at 1680x1050). I just tried to run Arktwend (the first total conversion of the Nehrim and Enderal guys) under OpenMW, and it does seem to work (at least I could launch the game and take the first few steps). As I said earlier, I have very little experience with either Morrowind and modding. Running textures through Ordenator can open up a lot of options, even on an older PC.Įngerek01: I do not know sorry. Any textures can be run through Ordenator to make sure they do not exceed 1k (or even 512), for performance. If your PC can handle New Vegas, it can probably handle "Morrowind Enhanced Textures" as a base (vanilla look), with 7-12 cells of draw distance in MGEXE/turn ingame distance to 0 (or mid-to-max in default OpenMW with reduced actor distance).

Since you mentioned disliking combat, you may wish to pick up a mod such as Combat Experience Depth Perception, which makes you miss less (and deal more damage as you become more skilled).

For the UI, there are many mods on the Nexus, including more modern looks, quick-looting with the Fallout-style popup, and Oblivion-style Ownership Indicator (most of these require MWSE, and therefore base Morrowind - OpenMW has Ownership Indicator included). It's much more stable (due to Code Patch) than basic Morrowind, and supports every mod out there.īut for someone who wants a truly vanilla experience, OpenMW is probably the easiest, and smoothest, way to go.Īs for mods, I do *not* recommend Rebirth if it's a first playthrough.

My favored install is still base Morrowind + Code Patch + Patch for Purists (includes a Dark Brotherhood delayer and Rumor Fix). Morroblivion, in my experience, crashed more often than OpenMW or Morrowind + Code Patch. OpenMW loads faster, and exploring dozens of outdoor cells in quick succession doesn't lead to a crash due to memory usage.

OpenMW also doesn't have as performance-friendly distant land as MGEXE (improved in 0.45 by limiting actor distance). However, it doesn't support MWSE mods, which also sport some very nice features as of the newest version. OpenMW adds a lot of quality-of-life features. I myself have tried OpenMW, but not for a very long time, as I didn't see any real benefits over the original game, and I have never used Morroblivion - not least because I prefer the game mechanics of Morrowind over those of Oblivion. Mod compatibility is not guaranteed (especially mods changing the gameplay may not work with Morroblivion). OpenMW is not quite feature-complete and can't run mods which modify the game engine (like the Code Patch, MGE and others), while Morroblivion is based on the Oblivion engine, which (to my knowledge) affects gameplay, too. My PC can run Fallout New Vegas comfortably, but struggles with more recent games. I want the best UI experience, and the friendliest combat (generally don't enjoy combat in RPGs).

Which is the better way to play Morrowind today? Morroblivion or OpenMW? Or neither (just modding base game)? They both seem to be complete from what I've read. Servobeupstry: First time Morrowind player here.
