I take issue with the clickbait title and am ready to perform an “Umm… actually”. Morrowind featured controller support for years via the Xbox. It didn’t just get it. Heck, it still doesn’t officially support controllers on PC. I wouldn’t even call OpenMW devs “modders”.
That’s the one lemmy did suggest: you can see yourself in the previde lemmy itself auto generate vere insidie the post.
I guess pcgamer sneak the clickbait title in the metà data so they can have clickbait whenever their article are shared, but don’t take full responsibility on their own very pages
I agree with you, but I think we all know Bethesda’s best game is Fallout 3 Morrowind, and if you know these games, it’s really obvious in the picture. Even without the picture, we know what the gaming press believes is Bethesda’s best game. It’s either Skyrim (based on sales numbers) or Morrowind (based on wide opinion). However, Skyrim shipped with controller support; therefore, it can safely be ruled out. So did Fallout 3, for that matter.
I didn’t much care for Morrowind when it was new, but I respect the hell out of some of the decisions it made, especially after seeing those decisions reversed and spat upon by later TES games. Like how you have to cast all of like two spells to become Archmage in Skyrim. Whereas in Morrowind, if you did not have certain skills, you could not advance in guilds. You could JOIN all of them. But you needed to actually train in those areas to advance. New players would typically go Legion (army) and Fighter’s Guild because that’s easy and relatively straightforward; building out a pure mage build takes more work (and makes you way more squishy).
I’m happy to see OpenMW is on Mac and Linux as well as Windows. I have Macs, and I also have an Xbox Series X. I own Morrowind on GOG, I might own it on Steam, I’m not sure… and I’m pretty sure I own as many Bethesda games on Xbox as are available (except Starfield, played that trash on GamePass but never bought it… I did play that trash though).
Yeah the game had controller support for years through OpenMW. It is the reason I went back to play morrowind 2 years ago. I guess they added some new features on the controller aspect of it which is cool though.
I read about this last night and decided to finally give Morrowind another shot. I’ve got about 6 hours of playtime and I really did enjoy it when I was playing it but I couldn’t get hooked for some reason. I downloaded OpenMW 0.50.0 last night and I’m doing a new playthrough, hoping I get hooked this time. I really want to get into this game more.
I bounced off it several times until I watched an 8 hour video essay on it (not in one sitting, mind you). I finally completed the main quest on my next playthrough and really enjoyed it.

My stupid gripe aside, for those who don’t know, you can pop in an OG Morrowind Xbox disk into any generation of Xbox console and it’ll play. Series X will even boost the resolution up to nearly 4K (1920p).
I wouldnt play morrowind without mods tho
I’m assuming they’re referring to the PC version
The article names the game in the headline, not clear why your post needed to try to be click bait?
It’s about OpenMW, the open source game engine to play Morrowind on.

Why is everyone spelling battlespire wrong here?
Fucking click bait title. Fucks sake. Even the article mentions morrowwind in the title.
Title says OpenMW by name.
Yeah the game had controller support for years through OpenMW. It is the reason I went back to play morrowind 2 years ago. I guess they added some new features on the controller aspect of it which is cool though.
That’s because everyone knows that morrowind is the best Bethesda game.
I’ve really been enjoying playing Diablo 1 with a gamepad using DevilutionX (which is mentioned in the article), so this is a welcome addition for me.

I’ll give the video a watch (or part way through anyway) when I get off work today, maybe it’ll help. Thanks for the link.
I love how this 8 hour long video is called “a quick retrospective”, lol. Sure the gametime is ten times this at least, but it still made me smile.
Ah, the old adage holds true: everytime Morrowind is mentioned, someone starts a fresh install.
How is this news?
OpenMW has had controller support for awhile.
