Morrowind gets way easier to play on your Steam Deck or sofa thanks to a new OpenMW release candidate that's all about gamepads, baby




Think fast, hotshot: after spending three years lovingly crafting July's 0.49 update, which dramatically buffed up its capacity to handle all-powerful lua modding, the crew at OpenMW have already turned around and put out their first candidate for its 0.50 release. In mod project timelines, this is basically a nanosecond turnaround...

'Because no one was paying attention we could just put anything into the game,' says the writer responsible for sneaking The Lusty Argonian Maid into Morrowind




Filmdeg Miniatures is a YouTube channel run by Tom Evans that is full of interviews with gaming luminaries. I know it mainly for unearthing Warhammer history on topics like the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Evans also covers videogames, most recently in an eight-hour oral history of Morrowind in which he lets a host of the classic weird-fantasy RPG's creators meander up and down memory lane as they discuss how it was made...

Morrowind is being ported into Elden Ring by a modder, complete with the vast army of goats and female clones Vvardenfell's always had

Remember when, back in the day, you made the trek through the ashlands to Red Mountain? Within, you encountered an unforgettable foe. "Come, Nerevar. Friend or traitor, come. Come and look upon the Heart, and Akulakhan. And bring Wraithguard... I have need of it", they said. "Heed my words. I am Malenia. Blade of Miquella. And I have never known defeat."


Okay, so maybe not, but it's a nice image with which to open the news that a modder's managed to port the entirety of Morrowind's landmass into Elden Ring. It's still very much a work-in-progress, as you might expect given its version of Vvardenfell's populated by copies of the same random woman and goats, but it certainly makes for a surreal watch.

The unofficial Skyrim remake of Morrowind finally has a voice for every last character in Vvardenfell

Very long-in-the-works Elder Scrolls modding project Skywind has hit another milestone in its winding road towards an eventual release. The folks behind the mod, which aims to deliver a version of the series' beloved third entry Morrowind remade in Skyrim's engine, have recruited the final three voice actors they were looking for to fill out the base game's entire roster of characters.


Skywind's still without any kind of release date, meaning it's almost certainly further off than its Oblivion-centric sort of cousin Skyblivion, which is aiming to arrive this year. However, the regular updates we've been getting about it of late are encouraging signs that it will eventually let us into its heart chamber.

Open-source Morrowind project just got an update 3 years in the making that might have me saying bye to the vanilla game for good—oh, and you can load Skyrim in it now




Having begun work on it sometime after the domestication of rice, the heroic mad lads over at OpenMW—the open-source engine reimplementation for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that lets you play it with a minimum of fuss on pretty much any modern OS—have finally released its much-anticipated 0.49 update. Okay, work actually began on it almost three years ago, but do you remember what you were doing three years ago? Me neither. Pretty much the Bronze Age...
