I know it makes me sound like an of man shouting at clouds but the other day I installed Morrowind and was genuinely blown away by how smooth and reliable it ran and all the content in the game fitting in 2gb of space. Skyrim requires I delete my other games to make room and still requires a whole second game worth of mods to match the stability and quantity of morrowind.
Back in the day morrowind was unoptimised too, https://kotaku.com/morrowind-completely-rebooted-your-xbox-during-some-loa-1845158550
Yes, but also community rewrite of the Morrowind engine, to make it even more better: https://openmw.org/
Admittedly, some changes might make it use more resources, for example it’s got basically no loading screens, because nearby cells get loaded before you enter them…
