I do not care if they do remasters. but at least make sure your games work as time goes on. like adding support for new hardware ex. widescreen or even at least make it not bugout when you do have new hardware.

OpenMW

They have several different mod lists you can also add to it.

I personally went with the graphics overhaul list. Loving it.

Like the Construction Set for the original Morrowind engine, OpenMW comes with its own editor, called OpenMW-CS, which allows the user to edit or create their own mods or original games. Both OpenMW and OpenMW-CS are written from scratch, and aren’t made to support any third party programs that have been added to the original Morrowind engine to improve its functionality.

OpenMW is not a “mod” to Morrowind. It is an entirely different game engine that does not use the original Morrowind.exe in any way."

I use it. It's got the old Morrowind feel and doesn't change the gameplay in any way. It just looks better and plays better. And it's easy to install.

Skywind is a total conversion mod remaking Morrowind in Skyrim's newer engine. It's not finished yet but they've made significant progress and have a lot of people working on it. Unfortunately It will most likely still take years to finish, but this is the nearest thing to a remaster your going to get aside from OpenMW.

Skywind will take years and MorrOblivion is playable but still beta.
Myself I believe the remake of Gothic will come first (they began on it last year) and I love that game as well.

So the MW installs into morrowind, but is it a totally different game I have to install?

You can connect it to your Steam game but you have to launch it via the OpenMW icon. On the surface it seems to bypass steam completely. What it does in the background, I have no idea. But I never launch Morrowind via Steam anymore.

Also I'll repeat just in case it's so far up the thread people won't see it. Morroblivion is playable from beginning to end but it isn't Morrowind. It's Oblivion. It changes an awful lot of the things I liked about Morrowind. That's why I uninstalled it and went to MW.

Mind you I still reckon it's worth installing - just for curiosity's sake - so you know what it's like before you bin it :D

Does MW have better graphics or does the other mod the guy posted have better graphics?

I want the one with better graphics.

There is a steam guide to make it easy to launch OpenMW from your regular steam shortcut (just copy paste some stuff and rename 1 file.)

OpenMW has better graphics by itself, but there are a bunch of mods you can install that will work with it.

I used this mod list (long, and took some fixing on my part, but totally worth it, the game looks amazing.)

OpenMW (no other mods) stepping off the boat:

I actually prefer to start with MCP and MGE XE. The same as the first reply in this thread.
OpenMW is good but I did not like the way (when it is only supposed to be game engine) that they altered how Birthsigns work. If you use OpenMW be aware that Birthsigns like the Lady which gives +25 Endurance and Personality are not added to your base attributes. So it will not help in increasing you health at level up and it does not help with influencing people.

If you go MGE XE look here for a you tube guide:
