It’s very old at this point.
It’s the predecessor to Skyrim.

Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.
Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.

Doesn’t change the fact that Skyrim is a lot more accessible for new players.
There is a reason why Skyrim is still one of the most played games on Steam at this time (after 14 years) and Morrowind is not.

It is however why there’s like a small group of morrowind guys still fitzing around with mods and updated engines for it.

It’s been years since I played. Will OpenMW work with original MW mods, and if not what does it’s modding scene look like?

It plays well with original Morrowind mods, including Tamriel Rebuit, which is fucking awesome.

I am not sure if you are kidding but Ram exists to be used.
Unused ram is wasted potential.

I am. I code. Well, kind of. What I meant to say was “I play around with code that takes up a lot of my computer memory, actual memory, and RAM” and I really am quite fond of my little creations that I’ve made with my code and can’t bear the thought of parting with them/basically killing them by deleting them. They’re like children to me :,)

It’s amazing, and don’t let anyone discourage you from trying it.

Morrowind remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It’s a bit more hardcore RPG than Skyrim for sure, and that may turn some folks off. And it’s definitely an older game with most of the dialog written. But it is an EXCEPTIONAL game. The world is beautiful and varied and exploration still feels more rewarding than Oblivion or Skyrim, the amount of lore to explore is HUGE, the specificity when building and leveling your character out exactly how you want is expansive, and the game doesn’t hold your hand - you can kill people who are vital to the main story if you want to, it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.
Nowadays, I’d strongly recommend running it with the excellent OpenMW engine, it’s rock solid and performs better than the original game, hell there’s even a working multiplayer fork of it!

…and it still leaves a back route to complete the main quest. You just have to murder the living god who is a mantling of Mephala to start the alternate route.
…and then you come up for air after reading the 36 Sermons of Vivec, realizing that very basic steganographic techniques were used to conceal at least a couple of hidden messages withing them and the start branching out from there into trying to understand the concepts of CHIM and the Towers and Amaranth and so on trying to wrap your head around the metaphysics of the setting.
