One thing I totally forgot to write about is that in the next release of OpenMW , the open source game engine for Morrowind, will finally have the ' Distant terrain ' feature.Distant terrain is one of the features missed from all the previous releases, so I am looking forward to the next stable release. Exactly as the name might suggest, it allows you to see a lot further which in a game like this really will help immersion.You can grab Morrowind from GOG , install it with Wine and then point OpenMW to the data files. One of the few times I personally consider it acceptable to buy a Windows game, since it's being used to play with an open source engine.If you've been on the fence about OpenMW, don't be, it's impressive. I actually tried OpenMW today and I was really impressed by how buttery smooth and complete the experience feels right now. I've been told you can actually play Morrowind through to completion on OpenMW which is fantastic.
