It's much more stable (due to Code Patch) than basic Morrowind, and supports every mod out there.īut for someone who wants a truly vanilla experience, OpenMW is probably the easiest, and smoothest, way to go.Īs for mods, I do *not* recommend Rebirth if it's a first playthrough. My favored install is still base Morrowind + Code Patch + Patch for Purists (includes a Dark Brotherhood delayer and Rumor Fix). Morroblivion, in my experience, crashed more often than OpenMW or Morrowind + Code Patch. OpenMW loads faster, and exploring dozens of outdoor cells in quick succession doesn't lead to a crash due to memory usage. OpenMW also doesn't have as performance-friendly distant land as MGEXE (improved in 0.45 by limiting actor distance).

However, it doesn't support MWSE mods, which also sport some very nice features as of the newest version.

OpenMW adds a lot of quality-of-life features. I myself have tried OpenMW, but not for a very long time, as I didn't see any real benefits over the original game, and I have never used Morroblivion - not least because I prefer the game mechanics of Morrowind over those of Oblivion. Mod compatibility is not guaranteed (especially mods changing the gameplay may not work with Morroblivion). OpenMW is not quite feature-complete and can't run mods which modify the game engine (like the Code Patch, MGE and others), while Morroblivion is based on the Oblivion engine, which (to my knowledge) affects gameplay, too. My PC can run Fallout New Vegas comfortably, but struggles with more recent games. I want the best UI experience, and the friendliest combat (generally don't enjoy combat in RPGs). Which is the better way to play Morrowind today? Morroblivion or OpenMW? Or neither (just modding base game)? They both seem to be complete from what I've read.

Is there somewhere specifically they’re supposed to be?īetter Balanced Combat Beth.Servobeupstry: First time Morrowind player here. esps moved into the data folder and everything but I don’t know what else to do, I’ve moved the data files around.

Hey y’all so I’ve been playing Morrowind on OpenMW 46.0, Windows 10, and I’ve run into an issue where I’m trying to play Morrowind Rebirth but when the game loads it’s nothing but big yellow exclamation marks from missing meshes. EDIT: this has been resolved I’m just a dumbass
