What is Open Morrowind even going to accomplish besides nothing?

spending yeasts rewriting a game, when they could have used them to make bread

>Why do people do things?

Gee, I dunno.
Maybe it's better we all just stop breathing and die.

>spending yeasts when you could of used activated almonds

Happy new year

I will surely play 4-5 hours of it but probably not much more.

Fuck all y'all.

What is buying video games even going to accomplish besides nothing?

Why are faggots spending yeasts buying games only to never play and benefit no one?

>>379442234
How much do they have to do? I thought they had like 90 percent of the stuff done in 2014

>>379442349

5 more years of work

The reason is open morrowind will be open source so you aren't limited by the editor. You could change combat with no limitations and many other things.

The why? Why do people paint, do carpentry, or whatever else? Not all leisure activity means sitting around watching TV or it's a "waste of time.

Are the people that follow 20 TV shows having more meaningful of a time than someone modding games?

I was more interested in DaggerXL. Too bad the project was dropped.

>tfw when you forgot to activate them

Because it would increase modability so much because the whole engine is open source meaning a modder can just straight up replace things that weren't previously able to do.

We're talking about being able to completely overhaul the combat system to something like Mount & Blade/Chivalry's system.

>when finally completed, Todd slaps their ass so hard with a C&D the entire team develops a spanking fetish

>>379445335
No one will mod it though

>>379446062
No people still are, Project Tamriel is a thing and so is Tamriel Rebuilt.

What?

>unfinished pie in the sky hype bubbles

>>379446470
And it's unfinished because it's a WIP meaning that it's still being worked on. There's plenty of mods that have taken forever to complete and they've released playable proof that the mod is going beyond concept.

You're being a contrarian for the sake of it

There's nothing to C&D though. It's literally just clean room reverse engineered code that loads assets and tries to behave in a way similar to Morrowind.

As to why they're doing it?
- It allows for ports of morrowind to many platforms, such as android and linux
-Limitations of the original engine are essentially eliminated
-New content creation and modding is both backwards compatible and extensible, making it easy to mix legacy mods with ones that use OpenMW enhancements
-The game engine can be threaded
-Running the legacy morrowind engine with tons of mods is extremely buggy. My morrowind playthrough a few years ago crashed hundreds of times. OpenMW is far more stable.

I'm sure people deeper into the project could add a bunch more reasons, but that's my casual assessment of things.

>>379445173
Really? Why?

>>379447312

Original author lost interest in the project.

Now however there is Daggerfall Tools for Unity, which is making steady progress and looks like it'll be the modern way to play.

Not him but http://xlengine.com/delays/ says its on hiatus due to real life work

It's not dead but it's on ice

this thing and skywind are taking too long

how am i supposed to play morrowind in the meantime when versions are coming out. they're holding the game hostage.

>>379437673
how do the people working on it benefit?
learning, problem solving, experience, portfolio padding

how do the people using it benefit?
more stability on modern machines, more freedom of making modifications

>>379447465
I'm kind of sad with this. I was really hoping for the quests working on the next update... oh boy.

>>379448129
It's a shame really, I wish Bethesda would release the source codes for Arena and Daggerfall already since it's not going to be commercially used anymore and there's probably not going to be a lot of 3rd party software associated with it like Speedtree etc.

Not going to hold my breath but I wish Arena + Daggerfall would get the Chocolate Doom treatment.

>>379437673
is there anything similar for oblivion I just bought it from GOG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J5gN1DwNDE

I actually played it first on the PS3 but saw the sale & couldn't resist the double dip

>>379448559
Not really, there's OBGE for slightly improved graphics but it runs perfectly well on modern systems.

https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion for fixes and tweaks like editing FOV

I remember Tamriel Rebuilt being discussed a few years after Oblivion came out. Its never gonna happen.

>>379448969
Taking forever =/= Never going to happen

They're already half done and they've released proof that it's not just a bunch of concept art and screenshots

wat

>>379448969
I still remember this when it was new

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWZfbzyDQ3o

Because I played in a test of the multiplayer branch of OpenMW just a few days ago

>>379451061
That shit is still some of the laziest looking editor work I've ever seen.

Whoever did the landscape editing should feel nothing but shame to this very day.

>>379451638
What's it like playing MW combat with other people, I can't even image what Oblivion would be like with other players

>>379451907
it's still better then what was in daggerfall
