• I have a dream; an open sourced Skyrim

  Bethesda will likely never open source Skyrim, the game engine would need to be recreated from scratch. This has actually been done for Morrowind with the OpenMW project so it is quite possible it could be done for Skyrim as well. That said, Skyrim is a bit more complex than Morrowind in terms of what goes on under the hood so it would be a lot of effort by dedicated people which would take many years to...

• morrowind should i play it? if so what mods should i install?

  Morrowind was the first TES game I played so I am biased towards it but the main appeal for me was the unique world and lore the guild quests feel more realistic for example the first couple Mages Guild quests are finding local mushrooms and flowers, gameplay is a bit outdated the combat is based on hit percentages based on you and the enemies skill and stats and fatigue level, the main thing I recommend is using...

  Well, OP wants to port Morrowind, and openmw (https://openmw.org/en/) is available and open source, theoretically, OP could work off of that, and I'd assume they'd be open to somebody having a whack at a console port. Source: 12 months ago

• Help catching up on mods/remakes scene

  There is also a developing community consensus around playing using OpenMW, which is a new engine, but it's probably a lot closer to 50% than most people using OpenMW realized (myself included). I certainly recommend it -- the graphical enhancements and improved stability are the greatest appeal (comes with new shaders, enhanced draw distance, etc.), and it's easier to install than the alternative (I recommend...

• Bird’s eye view of our lovely Vvardenfell (source in comments)

  I understand your concerns. OpenMW is actually a somewhat large community inside the Morrowind fanbase. You can check out their subreddit and their discord server, both of which are shared by the Morrowind subreddit (yes, this very subreddit, in which we are talking). You can also check out their official website, which contains FAQ, media and source code sections. Feel free to ask more questions! Source: about 1 year ago

• Bird’s eye view of our lovely Vvardenfell (source in comments)

  I am not sure about what mods implement controller support, but I am aware that OpenMW does so. It is a collective work of developers aiming to recreate the game's engine from scratch. I have been using their engine for years now when playing Morrowind. Lots of new features, such as ajustable map sizes, smoothed movement animations, enemies can fight each other instead of aiming solely at you - and there's tons of... Source: about 1 year ago

• Infinite Willpower glitch when using GCC, any help?

  I've been playing through Morrowind using OpenMW and Galsiah's Character Development, and everything was working just fine until my character hit 98 Willpower. After that, every single time my character gained a level in ANY skill, my Willpower would increase by 10. Source: about 1 year ago
