OpenMW is a game engine recreation and only replaces the program. Do I need Morrowind to use OpenMW?If you wish to play Morrowind and its expansions, yes, you must legally own Morrowind before you can use OpenMW to play Morrowind. It is an entirely different game engine that does not use the original Morrowind.exe in any way. 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. 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. What is OpenMW/OpenMW-CS? OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine for the open-world role-playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. You can also use this thread to talk about playing Morrowind with this engine! I will be posting in here any big news about the project, such as new releases.
I do not work on this project I'm just a big Morrowind fan who wants to spread the good word about it. Hello everyone! With the recent release of OpenMW 0.47, I have decided to finally make a thread for the project.
