I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.
Also the gameplay still holds up…mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I’m getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you “Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck” no markers just exploration.
The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.
I just felt like Jeff Goldblum’s character in Jurassic Park playing that game. “Now eventually you do plan to have cyberpunk in the cyberpunk game, right?”
Yeah the story, even the littlest side missions, are distressingly not punk. A lot of the time you’re literally working for the cops. And then Johnny is a fun character, but a terrible revolutionary. He nuked Arasaka tower (
My understanding talking to people that are familiar with Cyberpunk lore is that in the tabletop setting Johnny is a much different character, but when CD Projekt Red got Keanu to play him, they made him more Reddit le epic man instead of how he’s originally thought of. But yeah, you’re right about him in the game and it’s just another in a long list of disappointments.
