OpenMW is an excellent version of Morrowind and arguably probably the best.

It’s crazy how good this is, from a software engineering perspective I have no idea how they pulled this off. Morrowind is such a complex game, not sure how they reverse engineered it.

Time. This is a very old project. Things have moved slowly, but with time, things starts to actually work well.

This is a perfect example of what FOSS can do compared to money-oriented development.

I'm about due for a replay along with Tamriel Rebuilt which I haven't checked out since they added a significant amount of new quests.

Oh wow, I've never heard of Tanriel Rebuilt. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

One of my favorite engine recreations, up there with OpenRCT2

Oh this is timely, I was just hoping to explore a Bethesda world prior to Starfield!

I recommend going for a nightly version at the time. Version 0.47 is very old and 0.48 has been due to release for a very long time now but haven't already because reasons.

With the huge amount of mods available, I'm sure Skyrim will follow the same path in the decades to come.
