Культовая студия Bethesda отмечает свое 40-летие и в честь этого события разработчики запустили юбилейный сат с интересными воспоминаниями ветеранов команды. Нынешний дизайн-директор студии Алан Нейнс, руководивший созданием компаньонов в S…
If you are playing Morrowind in 2026, my recommendation is that you do so using OpenMW, its 18-year-old fan-made and open-source engine reimplementation that makes it run smooth as butter on any modern machine you point it at, whether you'r…
Команда открытого проекта OpenMW объявила о выходе первого публичного релиз-кандидата масштабного обновления 0.52.0. Сборки альтернативного движка для культовой ролевой игры The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind уже опубликованы на платформе Git…
The amazing open source game engine OpenMW for the classic RPG Morrowind has released a release candidate for the upcoming 0.52.0 release. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/11/openmw-0-52-0-for-morrowind-gets-a-…
Tamriel Rebuilt, the Morrowind modding project gradually adding the province's mainland to The Elder Scrolls 3's Vvardenfell-centric map, has gotten a fresh expansion over the weekend. Dubbed Poison Song, it's the long-teased update which l…
With Bethesda making us wait going on 15 long years for the next Elder Scrolls game (I'm not including Oblivion Remastered), we've been left to our own devices. A phenomenon I've noticed spike as of late is calls for a Morrowind remaster, a…
We've all done it. One moment, you're playing The Elder Scrolls 3. Then, boom, you pass the thrust and everything implodes. Thankfully, the latest update to OpenMW - the open source engine reimplementation that's one of the the best ways to…
Morrowind, the gloomiest and mushroomiest of all the Elder Scrolls games, is getting on in years—and it was never the most polished game in town, even upon its release a whopping 24 years ago. If you're sick of those rough edges, you need l…
It is one of life's greatest privileges to witness the completion of a masterpiece. Imagine Michelangelo putting the final taut lines on David. Imagine shooting the final scene for Mulholland Drive. Now stop imagining. You're here. You're s…
May is finally upon us, and that means three things: The weather is starting to suck less, Canada's oldest official holiday is approaching (happy birthday, Queen Victoria), and it's time to catch up on what's happening with Skywind, the meg…
What makes The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind one of the greatest games of all time? Is it the complex imperial politics of its setting? The piquant mythopoeia? Fargoth?.. Read more.
Look, the Elder Scrolls series has never had great combat, but 2002's Morrowind and the games before it are the worst offenders. A new mod for the OpenMW source port could be just the thing to make the open world clunker sing, though: It ad…
While not as close to release as its sibling-of-sorts Skyblivion, we've been getting regular looks at what Morrowind remake mod Skywind for a looooong time now. The latest of these peeks at its team's efforts to reinvent The Elder Scrolls 3…
I have one job here at PC Gamer and it's this: reminding you all that I really like Morrowind quite a lot. They tell me that's "not a personality," in response to which I begin levitating... Read more.
I like to think I'm a relatively smart person; I can often remember most of my ABCs and it only takes me around five seconds to add seven to something. But one thing will remain forever beyond me: mahjong, the Chinese tile-based game that I…
Bruce Nesmith has an enviable list of design and writing credits earned over a long history on some of Bethesda's greatest games: Daggerfall, Oblivion, Skyrim (on which he served as lead designer), Fallout 3 and 4, and others. None of which…
The PC Gamer review of Morrowind scored it an 83 back in 2002, which as the disclaimer at the top will inform you, is the lowest score a mainline Elder Scrolls game has got from the UK mag to date. That may stir feelings of confusion and un…
For many years now, the children's character Thomas the Tank Engine has been something of a modding phenomenon. You can find Thomas in everything from Hogwarts Legacy to Elden Ring, but it all began with a 2013 Skyrim mod that replaced all …
I've said it before and, unless PC Gamer fires me for all that embezzling I've been doing, I'm bound to say it again: OpenMW is one of the coolest mod projects out there. Much like DevilutionX does for Diablo or Daggerfall Unity does for Da…
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tamriel Rebuilt is one of the most impressive mod projects of all time. Its quest is to build every part of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind's titular province that Bethesda didn't get to, and it's b…
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 candid…
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 v…
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 …
Modding project Tamriel Rebuilt's quest to make the rest of Morrowind continues apace, even over two decades after it began. The team has just released Grasping Fortune, its biggest expansion yet, bringing with it the sprawling city of Nars…
The modders at Tamriel Rebuilt have been building the rest of Morrowind for over two decades now, and the project just put out its ninth and largest expansion in the form of Grasping Fortune, which adds on an enormous chunk of the mainland …
Morrowind came out in 2002, the same year as isometric RPGs like Icewind Dale 2, Divine Divinity, Freedom Force, and Dungeon Siege. Its first-person/third-person perspective was a selling point at the time, though some would argue that play…
These are heady days for Tamriel Rebuilt, the 24-year-old Morrowind mod that aims to build out—in a brilliant and fanatically lore-friendly way—all the parts of the titular province that Bethesda didn't get to. The team has just put out Gra…
In my early 20s, I hopped over to Amsterdam with some friends. I'd just ended a long-term relationship and was determined to melt my brain. On the third day of our trip, we rented a cabin outside the city, surrounded by farmland and chicken…
It's a good time to be a fan of The Elder Scrolls. Oblivion Remastered has brought the classic Bethesda RPG back into the mainstream, and we've recently seen a major update for the Tamriel Rebuilt mod. Now comes another big reveal - a new 2…
t time of writing, the Oblivion remaster has generated enough money to buy France. Across the world, the gears of business churn inevitably: someone at Microsoft emails someone at Bethesda to ask, a little forcefully, which classic game the…
