YOU GUYS HAVE TO READ THIS ONE BECAUSE IT IS THE KIND OF CRAZY THAT WE LOVE AROUND HERE! OpenMW just dropped a massive update that reimplements Morrowind's entire game engine from scratch instead of wrapping the original — and it includes fix for one of those legendary crashes where walking into walls could literally crash the game (we call it "thrusting to death" because it was hilarious). The new build drops 40MB on install, runs perfectly at modern resolutions, and keeps every mod you already have since it's Overhaul Console Edition compatible. It also adds multiplayer, full controller support, widescreen modes, screenshots, an in-game console with the Skyrim console set of commands, a texture pack option, AND the actual Skyrim-era soundtrack for some nostalgic cherry on top. I cannot get over someone rewriting a whole engine just to fix one crash while making it run beautifully on modern gear — that's pure love and you can tell they genuinely care about this community!
