Let us know if you try it out and what you think! This is pretty exciting, so hopefully it sees a lot of updates over time and continues to get even better.For someone new to installing mods, it can be somewhat difficult to figure out where to start with adding new Morrowind mods to their savegame, or even where to get mods in the first place. That’s an incredible bargain for one of the best RPGs ever made. You can get Morrowind’s Game of the Year Edition with all three expansions at 75% off right now via Steam, which is just $3.74. This is all just a side experiment of a work-in-progress open-source project, so bugs and issues like that are expected. Accessing SteamVR through Virtual Desktop I couldn’t get it to launch at all. For some reason I couldn’t interact with that door.

The Link version I was able to launch and play just fine, right up until you enter the Census office to finish character creation. I tried it out using an Oculus Quest 2 via Oculus Link and via Virtual Desktop with mixed results. Just make sure you have “OpenXR runtime” activated in the SteamVR Developer settings once the game is running. Launch OpenMW_VR, and you’re good to go!.Run the wizard and point it at the original Morrowind game folder.From there download the ‘Windows_MSBuild_Release’ file from gitlab here and unzip the contents somewhere specific, like into a folder on your desktop.

Not only is there head tracking with actual 3D and full panoramic view with correctly scaled field of view, but you get your hands.

Motion controller support is the really big addition with this. A legal copy of Morrowind and its expansions are still required to play Morrowind via OpenMW, but you don’t need to own the game to play games made in the new Construction Set-style modding suite, OpenMW-CS. Rather than being a “mod” in the typical sense, this is a brand new engine that no longer uses Morrowind.exe at all. The OpenMW project is an open source, free, modern engine that aims to extend the Gamebryo engine used in Morrowind. That’s where the work of talented modders comes in.

MODDING MORROWIND ON STEAM MOD
Obviously The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim already has an official VR version developed and released by Bethesda themselves, which really comes alive once you mod the crap out of it, but the likelihood of us ever getting to explore the island of Vvardenfell in virtual reality anytime soon is extremely slim. Bethesda Game Studios trimmed down their focus from the behemoth of procedural generation that was Daggerfall for a more handcrafted approach with Morrowind that has, for all intents and purposes, laid the groundwork for how they’ve developed all of their games since from Oblivion and Skyrim to Fallout 4 and beyond. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is one of the most highly-regarded and intricate roleplaying games ever made.
