snowkatt: edit :
tried it
the graphics are still as hideous as ever
especially the mutant monsters the game tries to pass off as npc's
the thing i first noticed is that the game loads a lot faster
MikeMaximus: How bad the character models are always strikes me too after not playing it for years.
The rest of the visuals and performance you get out of OpenMW is pretty great though. And less work than modding the shit out of the original release to accomplish the same effect.
yeah the npc's are hideously ugly
which is odd when you consider that the environments are gorgeous
but the npc's and creatures ie what you look at most of the time
look like the love child from a skeksis and the sumatran rat monkey from brain dead
the animations are fairly rubbish too
i only tried openmw briefly but the game loads almost instantly which is most impressive
misteryo: It's version .39. Their still aiming at a 1.0 release "someday"
TheJoe: 0.40 actually came out recently. You may have missed it.
I'm pretty confident a 1.0 could be this year, but it's pretty much as good as already as has been discussed.
im using 0.39 but thats the windows 64 bit version
snowkatt: it wont
i tried that with oblivion and got bored half way through cause i already did everything
rtcvb32: True... The majority of the time I spent in Morrowind in the last... 8 years or so, is programming tools, and mostly loading the games up to make sure the records work with the game.
i usually play oblivion modded up to the hilt
with new quests
i only really play the dark brotherhood from the original quests anymore
and even that is kinda dull
