okay here is my beginnerās guide to morrowind! it talks about some of the mechanics youāll want to know, but itās also a little bit of a walkthrough to get you a good start on your journey. note that i originally wrote this for somebody specific: i donāt think it does, but if it seems like itās talking at somebody in particular, thatās why. anyways, i hope this is helpful!
before you start the game:
there is only one mod i absolutely recommend you play with, and itās not quite a mod at all.
when you download morrowind from steam or gog or whatever, you have the game! congratulations! however, what you really own is the assets of the game and a horribly broken engine. thatās where openmorrowind (openmw) comes in.
openmw is a remake of the original engine of morrowind. you see, morrowindās original engine fucking sucks. this is for a multitude of reasons, but for me, the reason i switched was because at the later stages of a playthrough, the game will literally start corrupting your saves. donāt have that problem with openmw!
i canāt really give you a guide on how to install it and get it running better than the one on the openmw website (https://openmw.org/en/). go install it and you will have a much smoother experience overall.
reblogging this again bc some people mentioned the read more doesnāt work anymore, bc tumblr sucks and it was pointing at an old url. i put in a brand spanking new read more so hopefully people on desktop can actually read the majority of the guide!
